Bear-Shell is a command-line based shell developed by Michael. This shell specializes in high efficiency and ease of use.

I do not expect Bear-Shell to be used for real life applications, as it requires python 3 to be ran. In the future, I will more than likely be adding things like running commands as root, cd'ing into directories, and lots more. As of right now, it basically has the bare minimum to be used as, technically an os. With the new addition of the ls, and pwd command, you can now navigate even inside of the terminal.

If you would like to recieve more frequent, but less stable updates, you can also download Bear-Shell from the testing branch here. Please keep in mind however, these are less stable. So, there will be more bugs. All updates will go through the testing branch to get changed, debugged, and touched up before they reach the main branch. Therefore, if you'd like to use updates before they are polished and released, download from the testing branch. Or, you can download the zip file with "unstable" in the name from here.

Like I said, updates will be slow for this branch! if you'd like for frequent updates, please use the testing branch. Also, update 1.3.2.3 will be rolled out slowly since it is a LARGE update that adds quite a lot of new features. The wait will be worth it though!

To run/install the shell, run the command: make start To uninstall the shell, run the command: make uninstall

As of now, Bear-Shell is compatible with Windows and Linux. No plans have been made to make Macintosh compatibility.

To use Bear-Shell, you'll need to install:

• Python 3.*
• Tkinter (pip3 install tk)
• Curses (Go to here to install it.)
• This goes into more depth on how to install it.
• If you are on linux, curses is included with python and wont need to be installed.

I have many plans for this Shell. Right now, the biggest thing is the cd command, as it will allow you to stay inside of the Shell without having to leave to navigate to other folders.

Some other ideas:

• Sudo
• Cosmetics
• Flavors?

By cosmetics I mean when typing a number in the menu for example, if the number is the same as one of the numbers on the screen, it will be green, but if it is one of the numbers that aren't listed in the menu, it will show as red.

By flavors I mean making new flavors of Bear-Shell, like Ubuntu is a flavor of Debian, and such.

Disclaimer! Patches will not be shown here! This area is for big releases only! The fourth digit is for patches, and those are pretty much always bug fixes, so they wont be put here.
In the most recent update, version 1.3.2.1, I added the calculator, import verification, and better command handling for the root testing. Root testing is accessable by typing in the password, 'testing' and then once in the framework, type 'test' then you can test the one line commands, that are being tested. (e.g. 'ls /home' 'cd /home')

• calculator: allows you to add, subtract, divide, and multiply two nums.
• import verification: checks if the user has the correct libraries installed to run Bear-Shell
• better command handling: allows for two word, and one word commands to work in the root testing.

I wanted to add this feature because I thought about Bear-Shell's whole point, which is to be fast, efficient, and easy. Which before this update, you had to manually install some of the libraries/packages. Which isn't very easy, and efficient, so I made it so that all the user has to do is start the shell. (e.g. via make)

The newest patch is v1.3.2.2

The newest patch included sys info, upercase commands now being lowercassed, and version is now checked upon startup and in the system info menu.

• Ver 1.3.2.1
• Ver 1.3.1.1
• Ver 1.3.0.1
• Ver 1.3.0
• Ver 1.2.9

To see previous updates, you can go here, or you can run the shell and when in the menu, and go to the update log. (Hit 7 and then Enter)

The current commands that can be used in the included terminal are as listed:

• root
• python3

• 559908: Goes right to dev console

Disclaimer: Updates come out randomly and aren't scheduled.

Updates will also be a little slow, as I suck at organizing my code, so it takes a while for me to find code, update and change things, but I will definitely still be pushing updates out as fast as possible.
