FreSH - First-Run Experience Shell

Musa Bostanci·S42yt.FreSH

A fast shell for Windows that runs bash scripts unchanged.

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.
