Install

Install from xxh repo:

xxh +I xxh-shell-xonsh
# or from repo: xxh +I xxh-shell-xonsh+git+https://github.com/xxh/xxh-shell-xonsh

Connect

xxh yourhost +s xonsh +if

To avoid adding +s every time use xxh config in ~/.config/xxh/config.xxhc ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME):

hosts:
  ".*":                     # Regex for all hosts
    +s: xonsh

Using python, pip and xontribs

The xonsh.AppImage has python and pip by default. You can update pip and install packages and xontribs ordinarily:

myhost> pip install -U pip
myhost> pip install pandas
myhost> xpip install xontrib-prompt-bar

Packages location comply with hermetic principle:

xxh command	pip packages home	user home
xxh myhost	/home/user/.xxh/.local	/home/user/.xxh
xxh myhost +hhh '~'	/home/user/.xxh/.local	/home/user
xxh myhost +hhh '~' +hhx '~'	/home/user/.local	/home/user

Note! That packages will be installed in user directory by default i.e. ~/.local. If you're using package manager (e.g. mamba, conda) set $PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1 (doc) after virtual environment activation.
