DASH Shell is described as 'DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks. DASH stands for Debian Almquist Shell' and is a terminal emulator in the os & utilities category. There are more than 25 alternatives to DASH Shell for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Mac, Windows, BSD and Cygwin apps. The best DASH Shell alternative is fish, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like DASH Shell are GNU Bourne Again SHell, Zsh, Nu Shell and Elk Shell.
