## a-Shell Description
a-Shell is a complete local terminal emulator, allowing to run most Unix commands on your iOS device. You can transfer files using scp and curl, edit them with vim and ed, process them using grep, awk and sed. You can work with git repositories using lg2. 
Most commands are compiled for iOS native Arm64 format, making them fast and well integrated with the BSD Unix that powers iOS/iPadOS.

a-Shell includes Python, Lua, Perl, JavaScript, C, C++ for programming and TeX (texlive 2025, with Tikz and LuaTeX) for text processing. 

There are also multiple network utilities: nslookup, ping, whois, ifconfig... Type help for help, help -l to get the full list of commands. 

a-Shell can be controlled from Shortcuts: run commands in order, process files in a-Shell, get the results as text or files, transfer files to other apps...

a-shell uses iOS 13+ “multiple windows” ability, so you can run multiple shells at the same time, with different commands, in different directories. You can edit a file in one window with vim and process it in the other with python. 

Compile your C or C++ programs to webAssembly using clang or clang++, and execute the resulting binary. A complete webAssembly SDK is included (WASI-libc).

a-Shell is the complete version. If you need a smaller app, and you don't need a C compiler, a TeX engine, or numpy and matplotlib, there is a-Shell mini.

## a-Shell Reviews in Mexico

### ***** "Excelente aplicación"
Una aplicación bas tante util, en mi caso la quería para poder conectarme remotamente a otros servidores por SSH sin necesidad de cargar mi laptop.
Otra de las razones por la cual la descargue fue para practicar Perl en mis tiempos libres.
También puedes descargar tus proyectos de GIT y subir tus cambios con la librería lg2, solo procura checar la documentación de esta misma porque si varían un poco los comandos.
Excelente aplicación.
-- saloxxx, 2024-04-27

### ***** "Me gusta :3"
Es una herramienta espectacular. Serà posible instalar vscode en el container de la app?
-- gatovsky.sock, 2023-05-02

### ***** "Muy buena"
Me ha funcionado bien para compilar mi tesis en Latex (hay que instalar algunas cosillas extra, pero funciona). Solo me queda duda sobre cómo instalar -si es posible- plugins para vim…
-- IvanReyes11, 2022-12-27

### ****- "Great overall"
i love it, but i believe some updates are unstable and it crashes with simple commands like pwd or echo. After reinstalling the problem persist. This is a common issue, i’ll wait a few weeks and try to reinstall again. In the meantime the mini version may be an alternative.
-- isaacMedina, 2022-09-14

### ***-- "Como hago el git clone?"
Tengo varias dudas
-- pitbull 13, 2022-02-06

### ***** "Muy muy bien"
Muchos comandos, mismos comandos que bash o zsh tanto en MacOS como en Linux. Tiene python 3.9 instalado, pip y hasta ipython. Puedes editar en vim, hacer ssh. Guarda archivos en la nube de tu elección. Se puede extender con muchos mas comandos y lo mas sorprendente es que hasta ahora es gratuita uff. Joyita.
-- Otsen82, 2022-01-09

### ***** "Excellent!"
Seems like a linux terminal!
-- Nezumi2, 2021-11-27
