Xiki is a shell console with GUI features, written in Ruby, that augments your existing shell (bash or zsh) via the Xiki Shell (xsh). It makes the command line friendlier and more powerful by blending command-line and graphical interaction.

Use cases

  • make the command line friendlier and more powerful
  • augment bash or zsh with GUI features
  • run an interactive shell console with menus and expandable output
  • learn the command line through an interactive tutorial

When to choose

  • you want a more visual, interactive shell experience on macOS or Linux
  • you want to keep using bash or zsh but with GUI-like conveniences
  • you want an approachable command line for learning or exploration

When to avoid

  • you need Windows support
  • you want a strictly traditional, scriptable shell
  • you need actively maintained software with recent releases
