*HyperShell* is an elegant, cross-platform, high-performance computing utility for
processing shell commands over a distributed, asynchronous queue. It is a highly
scalable workflow automation tool for *many-task* scenarios.

Several tools offer similar functionality but not all together in a single tool with
the ergonomics we provide. Novel design elements include but are not limited to
(1) cross-platform, (2) client-server design, (3) staggered launch for large scales,
(4) persistent hosting of the server, and optionally (5) a database in-the-loop for
persisting task metadata and automated retries.

*HyperShell* is pure Python and is tested on Linux, macOS, and Windows 10 in
Python 3.9 and 3.10 environments. The server and client don't even need to use the same
platform simultaneously.


Documentation
-------------

Documentation is available at `hyper-shell.readthedocs.io <https://hyper-shell.readthedocs.io>`_.
For basic usage information on the command line use: ``hyper-shell --help``. For a more 
comprehensive usage guide on the command line you can view the manual page with 
``man hyper-shell``.


Contributions
-------------

Contributions are welcome. If you find bugs or have questions, open an *Issue* here. If and
when the project grows, a code of conduct will be provided along side a more comprehensive set of
guidelines for contributing; until then, just be kind.
