Needle is my first ever coding project. It’s a simple, customizable command-line shell designed to execute a handful of essential system commands. Needle is specifically built for Arch Linux, offering a streamlined way to interact with your system using commands like ls, pwd, pacman, mkdir, and cd.
Commands:
help: Display command list.ls: List directory contents.pwd: Print the current working directory.pacman: Manage packages using the Arch Linux package manager.mkdir: Create new directories.cd: Change the current directory.exit: Exit the Needle shell.cat: Read or write to folders.randomnum: Random number generator.checksum: Generate a checksum
Note: This shell is intended for use on Arch Linux systems only.
To get Needle up and running on your Arch Linux system, follow these simple steps:
-
Install Ruby: Ensure Ruby is installed on your system. Ruby is the programming language Needle is written in. If Ruby is not already installed, you can download it from the official Ruby website here.
-
Download Needle: Download the Needle Shell zip file. This zip file contains all the necessary files to run Needle.
-
Extract the Zip File: Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the zip file to a directory of your choice. This will be the directory where you will run Needle.
-
Run the Install Script:
-
Open your terminal application.
-
Use the
cdcommand to navigate to the directory where you extracted Needle. -
Use to
cdcommand to go to the scripts/ directory. -
Run the installation script by executing:
./install.sh
-
After this, you will see the Needle prompt, and you can start entering commands.

Needle is open source and highly customizable. Feel free to modify the code, add new commands, or make any changes to suit your needs!
