Shell commands

Since TypeStream is heavily inspired by the Unix philosophy, it's only natural that it supports many shell commands.

note

Feature parity with Unix shells is a non-goal of TypeStream so do not expect commands to be exactly the same as their Unix counterparts.

TypeStream also supports a few commands that are not available in Unix shells.

Cd​

History​

Synopsis​

history [-p]

Description​

The history command is used to display the history of commands executed in the current session.

The following options are supported:

  • -p --print-session - prints the history in a copy-paste friendly format

Http​

Synopsis​

http [verb] <url> [data]

Description​

The http command is used to make requests. It supports the following verbs:

  • GET, get - default if no verb is specified
  • POST, post - requires data to be specified

The data argument must be a string.

Note that the http command only supports JSON requests and responses. In fact, it will automatically set the Content-Type header to application/json and parse the response as JSON.
