ShellRosetta Project Analysis & Implementation Summary

Translate Linux/Bash commands to PowerShell and vice versa—flags, pipes, networking, and more.

ShellRosetta v1.2.0

Enterprise-grade Linux/Bash to PowerShell translator with AI, plugins, and web interface.

What is ShellRosetta?

ShellRosetta is a comprehensive command translation platform for developers, sysadmins, and anyone working across Windows and Linux environments. It provides intelligent, bidirectional translation between Linux/Bash and PowerShell commands with AI-powered pattern learning.

Features

Core Translation

• Bidirectional translation: Linux ↔ PowerShell with 100+ command mappings
• Flag-aware translation: Understands complex flag combinations (ls -alh, rm -rf, etc.)
• Pipeline support: Handles piped commands (ls -l | grep foo)
• Intelligent mapping: Contextual notes for platform differences

Advanced Features (NEW in v1.2.0)

• Web Interface: Beautiful, responsive web UI at http://localhost:5000
• Plugin System: Extensible architecture with Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Git plugins
• ML Engine: Learns from translations and provides smart suggestions
• Interactive CLI: REPL-style interface with command history
• AST Parsing: Advanced command analysis and structure understanding
• Security Validation: Multi-level command safety checking
• Performance Monitoring: Caching and performance metrics

Professional Features

• Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS compatibility
• Tab Completion: Bash/Zsh autocomplete support
• Configuration Management: Customizable settings and preferences
• Error Handling: Robust error reporting and recovery
• API Endpoints: RESTful API for programmatic access

Installation

# Settings include color output, history size, security levels

Examples

File Operations

# Linux → PowerShell
shellrosetta lnx2ps "rm -rf folder/"
# Remove-Item -Recurse -Force folder/

shellrosetta lnx2ps "cp -r src/ dest/"  
# Copy-Item -Recurse src/ dest/

System Information

# Linux → PowerShell
shellrosetta lnx2ps "ps aux | grep nginx"
# Get-Process | Select-String nginx

shellrosetta lnx2ps "df -h"
# Get-PSDrive

Network Operations

# Linux → PowerShell
shellrosetta lnx2ps "ping google.com"
# Test-Connection google.com

shellrosetta lnx2ps "curl -X POST https://api.example.com"
# Invoke-WebRequest -Method POST https://api.example.com

Advanced Usage

Interactive Mode

shellrosetta
# Provides REPL interface with:
# - Command history
# - Mode switching (lnx2ps ↔ ps2lnx)  
# - Built-in help
# - Tab completion

API Server

shellrosetta api --port 8080
# Starts Flask server with REST endpoints:
# POST /api/translate - Translate commands
# GET /api/stats - Usage statistics
# GET /api/plugins - Plugin information

Development

Custom Plugins

from shellrosetta.plugins import CommandPlugin

class MyPlugin(CommandPlugin):
    def get_name(self):
        return "my_plugin"
    
    def translate(self, command, direction):
        # Custom translation logic
        return translated_command

Extending Mappings

Add custom mappings in shellrosetta/mappings.py:

CUSTOM_MAPPINGS = {
    "my_command": ("My-PowerShell-Equivalent", "Usage note")
}

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• Optional: Flask for web interface (pip install flask flask-cors)
