 # bash-for-windows
 
-A fully functional bash shell for Windows, written in Go. Run bash commands and scripts natively on Windows without WSL, Cygwin, or MSYS2.
+A bash-compatible shell for Windows, written in Go. Runs natively as a single `.exe` — no WSL, Cygwin, or MSYS2 required.
+
+## Install
+
+1. Download the latest release zip and extract it.
+2. Double-click **`install.bat`**.
+
+That's it. The installer:
+- Copies `bash.exe` to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\BashForWindows\`
+- Adds it to your user **PATH**
+- Registers a **"Bash for Windows"** profile in Windows Terminal so it shows up in the `+` dropdown
+
+```powershell
+# Optional flags
+.\install.ps1 -InstallDir "C:\Tools\bash"   # custom install path
+.\install.ps1 -NoTerminal                   # skip Windows Terminal profile
+.\install.ps1 -Uninstall                    # clean removal
+```
 
 ## Features
 
-- **Interactive shell** with prompt (`bash$`)
+### Shell language
-- **Built-in commands**: cd, pwd, echo, exit, export, source, alias, type
+- **Control flow** — `if/elif/else/fi`, `for/do/done`, `while/until`
-- **Built-in coreutils**: ls, cat, grep, sort, wc, head, find, cp, mv, rm, mkdir, touch, clear
+- **Functions** — `name() { ... }` and `function name { ... }`, with `local`/`return`
-- **Command chaining**: `&&`, `||`, `;`
+- **Arithmetic** — `$(( expr ))`, `$((i + 1))`, `$((n % 2))`
-- **Pipes**: `|` between commands
+- **Command substitution** — `$(cmd)`, including pipelines: `x=$(echo foo | tr a-z A-Z)`
-- **Variable expansion**: `$NAME`, `${NAME}`
+- **Variable expansion** — `$VAR`, `${VAR}`, `${VAR:-default}`, `${VAR:=val}`, `${#VAR}`, `${VAR%suffix}`, `${VAR#prefix}`
-- **Variable assignment**: `NAME=VALUE command`
+- **Glob expansion** — `*.txt`, `src/**`
-- **Single & double quotes**: `'literal'`, `"$variable"`
+- **Tilde expansion** — `~/Documents`
-- **Script execution**: `bash-windows script.sh` or `-c 'commands'`
+- **Quotes** — single `'literal'`, double `"with $vars"`, backslash escapes
-- **No dependencies** — single `.exe` file, runs on any Windows x86-64
+- **Inline comments** — `echo hello  # this is ignored`
+
+### I/O
+- **Pipelines** — `cmd1 | cmd2 | cmd3`
+- **Redirection** — `>`, `>>`, `<`, `2>`, `2>&1`, `&>`
+- **Background jobs** — `cmd &`
+- **Command chaining** — `&&`, `||`, `;`
+
+### Interactive
+- **Command history** with arrow keys (saved to `~/.bash_history`)
+- **Tab completion** for commands and file paths
+- **Multi-line input** — `if`/`for`/`while`/functions continue on the next line
+- **Prompt** shows current directory and last exit code when non-zero
+

+echo "Hello $name"
-bash$ cat file.txt | grep pattern | wc -l
+echo $((40 + 2))
-bash$ name="Luffy" && echo $name
+
-bash$ mkdir -p project/src && touch project/src/main.go
+# Loops and functions
+is_even() {
+    if [ $(($1 % 2)) -eq 0 ]; then return 0; else return 1; fi
+}
+for n in 1 2 3 4 5 6; do
+    if is_even $n; then echo "$n is even"; fi
+done
+
+# Pipelines and redirection
+cat /etc/hosts | grep localhost | wc -l
+find . -name "*.go" | xargs grep -l "TODO" > todo_files.txt
+echo "result=$(date)" >> log.txt
