diamond_shell

WARNING: this is the UNSTABLE 0.8x branch. Once the diamond shell code will stabilize, the 0.9x series will be started. This may take months or even years, so I don't recommend for people to download these releases of the 0.8x branches yet. This is the Diamond-Shell project, a project that tries to create a Ruby Shell that may serve as a replacement for bash, but may also be used as an replacement for IRB one day. As of July 2016, the shell is in maintenance mode and fairly unfinished. While I will continue to improve on this project, add code, fix bugs, polish the existing code, improve and extend the documentation, I have to concede that I do not have enough time to really bring this project up to a higher standard, quality-wise and feature-wise. The original aim for this shell was to serve as a replacement for bash one day. Currently, the project is in a very early test-stage, not even early - please consider keeping this in mind when giving this project a try, as quite some things may not be working as intended; or are flat out missing as of yet. For the available options, this command can be issued: dia --help Local @ivars can be defined, such as via @foo = 'Hello World!'. This should now work as it does in irb. Other objects also work, such as @foo = (1..3) This is still somewhat limited though.
