Cheng Shao pushed to branch wip/testsuite-rm-shell-trick at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 2dd45743 by Cheng Shao at 2025-09-12T18:09:59+02:00 ghci: add :shell command This patch adds a new :shell command to ghci which works similarly to :!, except it guarantees to run the command via sh -c. On POSIX hosts the behavior is identical to :!, but on Windows it uses the msys2 shell instead of system cmd.exe shell. This is convenient when writing simple ghci scripts that run simple POSIX commands, and the behavior can be expected to be coherent on both Windows and POSIX.
