Local Unix terminal (with ssh)

a-Shell 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. You can 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 includes Python, Lua, Perl, JavaScript, C, C++ for programming and TeX (texlive 2023, 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.}

People need to understand the limitations and benefits of those limitations. It’s not a Linux container or virtualization, it’s Unix iPhone shell with open-source tools that have open licenses. If the license is GPL it will not be support for varies reason from apple. My advise request things that are reasonable and have not or similarities license

This was already the best, but when I realized I can connect to my raspberry py zero 2 w from a-Shell on my apple phone I realized how good this is. THANK YOU! (Ps: would like to be sure that there won’t be ads, ever)

但是感觉屏幕上总是有两个光标有点乱,我个人认为使用类似iSH那样的渲染方式更好:) 另外,我不知道为什么无法通过pkg安装git(我在中国,GitHub访问不稳定且缓慢,但是我尝试更换镜像源也不行),取而代之的是“Package git not found”。事实上,我尝试了多数软件包,但都无法安装。

why is nano not included? if it doesn't have gpl standard utilities, this isn't very useful.
