I've omitted docs/*.org from this merge, as there is still work left to
do there, but I am pushing the module docs early so folks can benefit
from the new docs sooner.

:term eshell

Description   unfold

This module provides additional features for the built-in Emacs Shell

The Emacs Shell or eshell is a shell-like command interpreter implemented in Emacs Lisp. It is an alternative to traditional shells such as bash, zsh, fish, etc. that is built into Emacs and entirely cross-platform.

Module flags

This module has no flags.

Hacks

  • Even with fish-completion-fallback-on-bash-p non-nil, fish must be installed for bash completion to work. This has been circumvented.
  • eshell-did-you-mean does not work on first invocation, so we manually invoke it once.

TODO Changelog

This module does not have a changelog yet.

Installation

Enable this module in your doom! block.

This module requires either Fish shell or Bash for code completion.

TODO Usage

🔨 This module's usage documentation is incomplete. Complete it?

  • Command completion with Company
  • fish-style prompt with Git integration
  • z-like directory jumping
  • Command-not-found recommendations

TODO Configuration

🔨 This module's configuration documentation is incomplete. Complete it?

TERM name

By default, eshell sets the $TERM variable to "xterm-256color", which helps with rendering various colours. As eshell is not a terminal emulator, these will not always work 100%. Modifying eshell-term-name to your liking may help.
