About
FreSH is a shell for Windows written in C with no runtime dependencies. It runs
bash scripts unchanged, without WSL, MSYS2 or Git Bash, and ships its own awk,
regular expression engine and coreutils so a script behaves the same on every
machine. It starts in single digit milliseconds, completes commands, files,
variables and flags as you type, and reads its settings from ~/.freshrc.
