       {
         shellName: 'zsh',
         shellCmd: '/bin/zsh'
       },
       {
         shellName: 'bash',
         shellCmd: '/bin/bash'
       },
       {
         shellName: 'node',
         shellCmd: '/usr/local/bin/node'
       },
       {
         shellName: 'python',
         shellCmd: '/usr/bin/python'
       },
     ]
   },

3. Away you go!

Adding a shell

1. Open your .hyper.js configuration file
2. Add a new object to shellect.shells with the shellName (a meaningful label) and the full shellCmd text for the shell:
   • { shellName: 'python', shellCmd: '/usr/bin/python' }
   • if the command is on your PATH, you may be able to simply use the command name instead of the full path
3. Re-run the script, and the new shell will be available!

Running Out of Hyper

The project can also be utilized outside of Hyper, if you just want a simple terminal switcher.

1. git clone https://github.com/joskore/hyper-shellect or npm i hyper-shellect wherever you'd like the tool installed
2. Create a .env.json file in the root of the installed project with the same shellect configuration object as used by Hyper
3. Run npm start from the root or node /path/to/run.js from anywhere
4. Be content!
