Configuring the Shell

There are a number of ways to configure the shell for shell recipes, which are the default when a recipe does not start with a #! shebang. Their precedence, from highest to lowest, is:

  1. The --shell and --shell-arg command line options. Passing either of these will cause just to ignore any settings in the current justfile.
  2. set windows-shell := [...] (deprecated)
  3. set windows-powershell (deprecated)
  4. set shell := [...]

Use the [windows] and [unix] attributes with set shell to use different a shells on Windows.
