Elvish: Expressive Programming Language + Versatile Interactive Shell

CI status FreeBSD test status gccgo test status Test Coverage Go Report Card GoDoc Twitter

Elvish is an expressive programming language and a versatile interactive shell, combined into one seamless package. It runs on Linux, BSDs, macOS and Windows.

Despite its pre-1.0 status, it is already suitable for most daily interactive use.

Visit the official website https://elv.sh for prebuilt binaries, blog posts, documentation and other resources.

Building Elvish

Most users do not need to build Elvish from source. Prebuilt binaries for the latest commit are provided for Linux amd64, macOS amd64, Windows amd64, and many other platforms.

To build Elvish from source, you need

  • A supported OS: Linux, {Free,Net,Open}BSD, macOS, or Windows.

    NOTE: Windows support is experimental, and only Windows 10 is supported.

  • Go >= 1.15.

To build Elvish from source, follow these steps:

# 1. Start from any directory you want to store Elvish's source code
# 2. Clone the Git repository
git clone https://github.com/elves/elvish
# 3. Change into the repository
cd elvish
# 4. Build and install Elvish
make get

This will install Elvish to ~/go/bin; you might want to add it to your PATH.

To install it elsewhere, override GOBIN in the make command:

make get GOBIN=$PWD # Install to the repo root (use $pwd if running in Elvish)
make get GOBIN=/usr/local/bin # Install to /usr/local/bin

Note that GOBIN must be an absolute path.

Packaging Elvish

See PACKAGING.md for notes for packagers.
