Show HN: Jitzu – My PowerShell Killer

from the show-hn dept.

Born out of my frustration with powershell’s slow startup and confusing syntax I have long wanted to build a shell and scripting language in .NET. I have been working on it for a long time and thanks to Claude, I was able to finally get it over the line. I daily drive it as my shell on Windows, and really happy with it so far.

Please try it and let me know where it can improve!

The directory labeling is my favorite part: label git ~/git/ → cd git:jitzu or ls git:project/site is so clean. No symlink farms, no alias soup, just persistent, tab-friendly labels.

This would be great in existing shell environments!

Thanks! Yeah I'm extremely happy with that feature, I use it a lot at work to quickly jump to our worktrees!
