= A command line shell interface to remote Trac instances

== Description

Using the XmlRpcPlugin, !TracShell gives users a dynamic and scriptable command-line tool for working with remote Trac instances.

Key features:
 * YAML configuration files, configure multiple instances.
 * Command aliases for common workflows.
 * Dynamically created shell lists only the commands your account has access to.

A sample session would look as follows:

{{{
$ tracshell -h
Usage:

...

$ tracshell
Welcome to TracShell!
Type `help` for a list of commands.
trac->> query owner=joe priority=critical
   34: [  open  ] the system is down
  233: [  new   ] aliens have begun the attack
trac->> view 233
Details for ticket: 233

      Summary: aliens have begun the attack
  Description: We just caught a UFO on live video television entering..
          ....
trac->> quit
Goodbye!
}}}

Coming Soon:
 * Non-interactive mode for scripts / alternate front-ends.
 * Configurable output formatters (ANSI, csv, xml, json, etc).
