This PR is a rewrite of @stevengj's #31490 on top of the cleaned-up
repl_cmd
in #58525. It should only be merged after that PR.This PR also extends #31490 to handle
cd
for the various windows shells, which has become simpler and more maintainable after the cleanup. Note that these functions do not allow passing flags at the moment; however, it is much easier for a power user to extend this behaviour if they so desire in their startup.jl.The specific diff of this PR is as follows:
For example, the line
is equivalent to saying "if we are on Windows (true) and using powershell, then a 'cd' command should be performed if the first word is either Set-Location, cd, sl, or chdir."
You can try this PR out in your local julia by pasting the following code into your startup.jl: https://gist.github.com/MilesCranmer/0b530cf4602905d548acdfb3bb54ded0
