Nice
[Update: 7 Dec 2019] - I’m wondering why I keep getting no module named ‘encodings’ when using some commands.
Need to play around with it a little more 😊

Description
a-Shell is a complete local terminal emulator, allowing to run most Unix commands on you iOS device. You can transfer files using scp and curl, edit them with vim and ed, process them using grep, awk and sed. You can work with git repositories using lg2.
a-Shell includes Python, Lua, Perl, JavaScript, C, C++ for programming and TeX (texlive 2022, with Tikz and LuaTeX) for text processing.
There are also multiple network utilities: nslookup, ping, whois, ifconfig... Type help for help, help -l to get the full list of commands.
a-Shell can be controlled from Shortcuts: run commands in order, process files in a-Shell, get the results as text or files, transfer files to other apps...
a-shell uses iOS 13+ “multiple windows” ability, so you can run multiple shells at the same time, with different commands, in different directories. You can edit a file in one window with vim and process it in the other with python.
Compile your C or C++ programs to webAssembly using clang or clang++, and execute the resulting binary. A complete webAssembly SDK is included (WASI-libc).
a-Shell is the complete version. If you need a smaller app, and you don't need a C compiler, a TeX engine, or numpy and matplotlib, there is a-Shell mini.
What's New in Version 1.10.1
- Everything from 1.10.0, plus fixing a bug in the interactive version of dash:
- new toolbar option for iPads, using iOS styling (you can switch to it using Settings).
- updated Python to version 3.11, Vim to version 8.2, Lua to version 5.4.4
- a-Shell (including Vim) now works with Scribble (character recognition using Apple pencil)
- options to customize cursor shape (config -k)
- new command: multimarkdown, to convert Markdown files to other formats (including TeX)
- keyboard commands to change the font size: command +, command - (and control + / control - too)
- new option (in Settings) to not restore windows content when the app restarts.
- many bug fixes: long scrolling does not reset to the beginning randomly, font size remains the same when going to the background, the app keeps keyboard focus, Vim plugins can execute dash commands...
