initial commit (v1.0) vShell is a virtual shell environment application for the Android OS. Actually, that's a relaunch of Alpine Term project. Even though setup is different, the whole idea to bring terminal app powered by virtual machine is just in its early versions (v0.x - v3.x). Will backport some changes to the Alpine Term app and release v16.0 before deprecating it completely in favor of vShell. *** This application implements a complete workaround for execve() issue on modern Android OS versions like 10/Q and higher. Specifically it not only uses a virtualized (emulated) environment but also completely eliminates use of execve() system call by switching to JNI libraries. About execve() on Android, see termux/termux-app#1072. ***
