Introducing T‑Shell: An Intelligent Command‑Line Terminal Application (Installation, Features, and Usage Guide)
T‑Shell is an open‑source intelligent command‑line terminal for Windows that integrates SSH, local operations, customizable themes, shortcut commands, Linux shells, Chinese support, and SFTP, with detailed installation, build, and usage instructions, plus tutorials on hosts, shortcuts, global variables, and file management.
