Hash is a comprehensive C-based command line shell interpreter for Linux, macOS, and BSD, providing a modern, secure, and POSIX-compliant alternative to traditional shells.
Features include:
- Tab completion for commands, files, and directories
- Pipes and I/O redirection
- Command chaining (&&, ||, ;)
- Background processes with job control
- Shell scripting with control structures (if/elif/else, for, while)
- Command substitution $(command)
- Aliases and .hashrc configuration
- Environment variable expansion
- Command history with HISTCONTROL support
- Customizable PS1 prompts with git integration
- Tilde expansion
- Login shell support
- Safe string handling functions
- and many more features...
it feels close enough to bash that I'm not lost, the scripting language feels so nice and reminds me of lua a little bit. it's clear and more readable than bash for sure.
the PS1 makes sense which is nice because I love having cool prompts.
Excited to try this in my next linux install!

@build_with_aj omg thanks for the upvote and follow, totally wasn’t expecting this early on 😊
At the moment I’m working on making things more stable with POSIX-compliance testing.
We had two contributions by kshku. It's so exciting to have new contributors on a project so few people know about 😍
Preserve ./ in tab completion.
When source'ing, check for file in current working directory before PATH
Also in this release, a few housekeeping items 🧹
Added homebrew bin path to example .hashrc PATH
Applied Dependabot updates for GitHub Actions
Fixed findings detected by SonarQube
We use smoosh to test for POSIX compatibility, and are slowly chipping away at tests to increase our pass rate. We are at 71% and increasing our score with every release. 📈

Thank you so much!!
@programator I'm hyped!
Also I wrote a hyperminimal window manager in bash but I might port it to hash when I have time. might launch that here lol.
As soon as I have the chance to move my main laptop to linux I'm giving this a proper spin on bare metal
