Everything you have done is in this browser. There is no account, and nothing leaves the page unless you switch on sync below.

The shell

Prompt\w is the working directory, \u the user, \$ the sigil.

Dialect

The engine is bash 5.2 with GNU coreutils either way — the dialect is settled and not per-learner. POSIX strictness turns on a diagnostic that names each bashism as you use it, because the gap between the two is itself worth knowing.

Prefix standard error in the transcriptColour alone is not a distinction: a transcript read on a projector or pasted into a bug report has none.

An export is the only copy that survives this browser losing its storage — there is no server one.

Off

Off. Everything stays in this browser. Turn this on and Shell keeps a copy on a storage server you run, so a second machine sees the same history. There is still no account — the API key is the only identity, and losing it loses the copy.

EndpointThe address of your storage server, e.g. https://storage.example.comAPI key

Generated by your server. Stored in this browser only.

Each gym is a separate site, so this setting only covers Shell. The other gyms take the same endpoint and the same key.
