简介

a-Shell mini is a complete local terminal emulator, allowing to run most Unix commands on you iOS device. You can transfer files using scp and curl, edit them with vim and ed, process them using grep, awk and sed. Work with git repositories using lg2.
Most commands are compiled for iOS native Arm64 format, making them fast and well integrated with iOS underlying BSD Unix.

a-Shell mini includes Python, Lua, JavaScript and webAssembly for programming and scripting. It also includes native ffmpeg and convert for fast image and video conversion.

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 mini 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 mini uses iPadOS 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.

a-Shell mini is a minimalist terminal, designed to have a very small footprint (less than 250 MB). If you need more commands, please consider a-Shell, which has more Python packages, more JavaScript modules, Perl, make, a C and C++ compiler and TeX.

- no big changes, this version is mostly to keep the version in sync with a-Shell
- fixed an issue that prevented running more than 1278 commands in-extension, or more than 852 commands in-app.
- fixed an issue where the app would sometimes run through command history instead of scrolling vertically
- fixed an issue with cursor position in editors when using tabs or spaces
- added the option "--reset" to jsc

A useful shell for SSH, other IT functions

I find this app very useful for core operations like SSH to servers for management, pinging devices on the network, plus finding uptime on my iPhone, ifconfig info, etc.

There’s a lot of functionality built into this pared down version of its sister app, a-Shell (the full featured app). a-Shell Mini omits all the Python and other scripting libraries in favor of a smaller footprint, which is fine by for my needs. Again, if you want to do development, go for the full version.

Otherwise, I find a very useful tool in my IT toolbox.

Best shell for me

Tried many other shell apps. This and the full a-shell are now the only ones I use. No fuss, multiple window support… no need to look at any similar apps, this is the shell you need.

A few things

No crash after first command, but the typed characters were not echoed, and there was no no response. Quitting and restarting fixed that one. I had trouble selecting characters to copy and paste. Tapping and double-tapping wouldn’t get a word selected reliably. I would pay a small amount if I didn’t see these problems. iOS 15.7 with 1.9.9.
