xonsh

Why we included this project

Xonsh is a shell that runs Python natively, so people who live in a terminal but think in Python can skip the bash syntax and write their aliases and automation as actual Python code. It works as a full cross-platform shell on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and it also runs inside Jupyter, which suits data scientists and engineers who want their interactive environment to behave like a script. The AI support is practical: you can hook up ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or an Ollama-backed alias so a model answers questions or helps with commands right from the prompt, and other AI-powered shells have been built on top of it. Teams that standardize on Python will find it easy to pick up, and the xontrib extension system lets you add completions, prompts, and integrations without forking the project.
