Small-Shell

"Small-Shell" is the open source Web application generator that can generate Web applications and related functions such as data store, job automation instantly just using shell {bash}. You can customize your application very easily once it's generated. Since it is written almost entirely in shell script (including the Web application itself), it has very few dependencies and is super lightweight.

Generate App

You can generate app and each function just using "gen" command. Please check Quick Start first.

                                    |  <->  Batch CLI  {e-cron} 
 gen command  ->>>   Shell App      |  <->  Web UI/API {App shell} 
 {CLI dialog}     {Data/Job store}  |  <->  NoSQL CLI  {Data shell}
                                    |  <->  Analytics  {Pyshell}

Why Use the Shell?

Shell development is intuitive, lightweight, and requires minimal setup. It allows you to run processes instantly by combining everyday terminal commands without complex programming logic. Operating directly within the file system, it provides immediate execution feedback and serves as the fastest, most native tool for OS coordination.
