Welcome to the Win-Brash Project Wiki Site!

The Win-Brash project is a sourceforge link to the Brash website.

Brash is a Microsoft Windows program that provides Bourne Shell scripting and GNU bash-style command line handling. It obeys the vast majority of Bourne syntax (though not all). Those parts that are unix specific, such as traps, are left out. Many GNU Bash features are also included -- though none that depend on array variables (yet).

The ofificial home page for Brash can be found at:

http://www.bordoon.com/brash

The code available in the sourceforge code page will always be the latest and greatest version thereof. The git repository will be used for joint development activities if any.

Therefore there will always be two ways to obtain the executables and source that comprise the Win-Brash project:

1. On the sourceforge site, download a code snapshot -- the cxx directory contains the source code, Use cxx/build.bat to compile. The bin directory holds the executable, startup resource file (.brashrc), and needed instructions (README.txt).
2. On the bordoon site, follow the download and compilation instructions

In the vast majority of cases, Brash will behave exactly as the Bourne shell would have -- had it been ported to windows.

Please uses this wiki site to learn about Brash features and techniques.

Please use the Discussion link to report problems or ask questions.
