this is just a dump of my commands and findings. It is not stable yet, still finding out things... keep you posted
Why even want this?
Just for fun, because I can. Practise with shell, if you have shell, you can do everything (except browsing the web for pages that use javascript).
Limitations
- only vi
seems to be stable
How (basics)
install ish from app store
uname -a
where are the logs
- iSH FAQ
- find packages to install
- how to debug? nvim keeps on crashing, nothing in /var/log
- how to scroll up with keyboard?
- how to reset to clean ish? Yes: remove the app, reinstall
- is it persistant? Yes: after restart, it keeps the installed packages and your code
- can I use it?
