🏴‍☠️ Shill — Portable Standarized Userspace

"The Stowaway" — Zero-dependency, self-modifying, procedural Linux environment manager.

Shill is a single POSIX shell script that bootstraps a fully isolated, portable userspace on any Linux server — even the most restricted shared hosting. No root, no sudo, no package manager required.

⚡ Instant Setup

Run this one-liner to download and start Shill immediately:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/milio48/shill/main/shill.sh -o shill.sh && chmod +x shill.sh && ./shill.sh setup

Don't have curl? Use wget:

wget -qO shill.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/milio48/shill/main/shill.sh && chmod +x shill.sh && ./shill.sh setup

📦 Package Registry

Install any of these using ./shill.sh install <name>.
