over last year's final holydays I took the time to do some long-planned experiments with eshell, trying to implement shell pipeline filters in lisp:

Hello fellow #emacs users! I'm having problem with #eshell #python and #poe on macos
Running a task involving "clear" command throws an error. Trying to troubleshoot it, I run a command with "which clear" and the response is "/usr/bin//clear".
This causes the execution error.
This is running as expected on any other terminal emulator.
Any clue? Maybe @andros has had any similar experience?
Thanks!
🎩✨ Oh, look, another dev who "wasn't ready" for Eshell's avant-garde brilliance. Apparently, it's now a "must-have" yet barely-used accessory in their #Emacs toolbox. Who knew #neglect could be so chic? 🛠️💼

@NebulaTide @kaixin @rubenerd Didn't know about opendoas, installed it and it really caches my password, cool!
The #eshell can also work with #doas like with #sudo :dragnhappy:
Instead of working on my parser I wrote a silly #vi #emacs #eshell useage #medium post.
#development #environment #lisp #programming

The gist is that in eshell, issuing vi drops you into this interesting fantasy mode. It's quite funny to use !! within vi within emacs. Consider using it instead of #vim or #doom.
You all know that #Eshell is a marvel. We will talk more about it but a very interesting tip to start with is how to clear the screen like in sh.
If we type “clear”, the cursor will go to the center and as soon as we type it will go to the bottom.
It can be uncomfortable.
If we type “clear 1” instead, the cursor will go to the top and it will write there, just like in any shell, such as bash, zsh, fish, etc.
An alias helps a lot:
- alias clear clear 1
Greetings
Todos sabéis que #Eshell es una maravilla. Hablaremos más de él pero un tips muy interesante para empezar es como limpiar la pantalla a lo "clear" en sh.
Si escribimos "clear", el cursor irá al centro y en cuanto escribamos irá abajo del todo.
Puede ser incómodo.
Si encambio escribimos "clear 1" el cursor irá arriba del todo y escribirá ahí, igual que en cualquier shell, como bash, zsh, fish, etc.
Un alias ayuda mucho:
- alias clear clear 1
Saludos
Man, I've forgotten how cool #eshell is.
Guess this works 🤷♂️
Now there is no reason to ever use another #shell
@ctietze If you want this behavior with #eshell, you should take a look at [eat](https://codeberg.org/akib/emacs-eat). It will handle these kind of programs properly and it's pretty fast!
Otherwise, you could vterm but you won't have support for #eshell.
I wonder why #Emacs #eshell, of all the shells, doesn't do the "remove stuff from the buffer and overwrite it" trick while more primitive terminal emulators can
@0x4d6165@wanderingwires.net #eshell is really cool, and only slightly broken!
@zenmaya@tech.lgbt yes, that's like. 40% of why i use #eshell
@puppygirlhornypost@transfem.social might switch to kitty again, i used to use it on arch/bedrock
usually tho i just use #eshell inside Emacs and it works fine enough...
i do understand eshell, and this discussion is a reminder that The Documentation is not as obvious as we think. or something
#eshell best shell
