I implemented './' and it should be live now.
This "just worked" for me. Nice work

tab completion?
I kept trying `./cowsaydo-not-run-me` because `ls` outputs with no separators (`ls -l` fixed me up)

Same here, ls output needs formatting help on mobile. I was hoping glob might work too - could be a useful update
Same here on mobile (iPhone 7)
Yes, especially since cowsay was marked in a different color!
Expected behaviour from *nix would be that you'd either
sh somescript.sh
./someexecutable
As "cat cowsay" tells me that cowsay is an executable, I wouldn't expect "sh cowsay" to work in any event.

I personally think this is the best solution besides implementing ‘./‘: take the colouring off and simply return “permission denied” when someone tries to ‘chmod’
hi thanks for the suggestion.
Yes, I plan to implement './' which is the expected behavior for running executables. I also plan to implement 'cd' and organize the content into nix style directories.
I did the exact same thing and assumed I was seeing some strange behaviour on mobile, until I came here.

Also I was wondering what 'do-not-run-me' would be so my first try was 'file do-not-run-me', but alas, that command didn't exist.
If you type "help", it says:
sh: run an executable fileYeah, I saw that after, but since it looks like a Unix shell, my first reaction is to just use typical Unix commands.
The first command I ran was `ls`, which worked as expected, but then I tried running `./cowsay blah`, which didn't work. I wasn't sure how to run it until eventually I guessed `sh cowsay blah`, and it worked.
Maybe make the `./` shortcut for executing stuff?
While I'm not sure how much work it would be, it might also be kind of cool to implement the `cd` command as well.
