Status

Pre-alpha. This project is not yet useful for any real work.

Getting Started

Assuming you have MonoDevelop installed:

  1. git clone https://github.com/Pash-Project/Pash/
  2. cd Pash
  3. xbuild
  4. mono Source/PashConsole/bin/Debug/Pash.exe

If you're experiencing difficulties with reading Pash output, e.g. it looks like [%?%p1%{8}%... - try adding TERM=xterm, like TERM=xterm mono Source/PashConsole/bin/Debug/Pash.exe. In particular, this is a known issue on Fedora systems.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.

License

The original release of Pash in 2008 didn't include a LICENSE or COPYING file, or other indication of license. However, at https://sourceforge.net/projects/pash/ it says:

License

BSD License, GNU General Public License (GPL)

I have emailed Igor Moochnick a few times to clarify his licensing intent, but he hasn't responded. So I'm treating that note on sourceforge as authoritative.

History

Pash was created by Igor Moochnick and published at http://pash.sourceforge.net/ in 2008. After the original release, development ceased.

In 2012, Jay Bazuzi started exploring the project to see what potential it held.
