Alpha. This project is useful in certain constrained applications, e.g. the NuGet Console in Xamarin Studio.

Assuming you have MonoDevelop installed:

1. git clone ...
2. cd Pash
3. xbuild
4. mono Source/PashConsole/bin/Debug/Pash.exe

See CONTRIBUTING.md for more details, especially if you see funny characters on startup.

The original release of Pash in 2008 didn't include a LICENSE or COPYING file, or other indication of license. However, at https://sourceforge.net/projects/pash/ it says:

License

BSD License, GNU General Public License (GPL)

I have emailed Igor Moochnick a few times to clarify his licensing intent, but he hasn't responded. So I'm treating that note on sourceforge as authoritative.

Pash was created by Igor Moochnick and published at http://pash.sourceforge.net/ in 2008. After the original release, development ceased.

In 2012, Jay Bazuzi moved the project to GitHub and got things going again. A bunch of generous contributors have since joined in, keeping the project moving forward a bit at a time.
