| 17 | +## Introduction |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Cash is a project working on a cross-platform implementation of the most used Unix-based commands in pure JavaScript and with no external dependencies. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +The goal of Cash is to open up these commands to the massive JavaScript community for the first time, and to provide a cleaner, simpler and flexible alternative to applications like Cygwin for those wanting the Linux feel on Windows. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Cash was built with strict attention to nearly exact implementations and excellent test coverage of over 200 unit tests. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Supported commands |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +The following commands are currently implemented: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +- alias |
| 31 | +- cat |

| 33 | +- cd |
| 34 | +- cp |

| 61 | +## Configuration |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Want to configure things to your heart's content? Just add your configurations in a `.cashrc` file (`_cashrc` also works, for Windows folk) and put that in your home directory. This supports anything you can do inside a cash command prompt (`export`ing environmental variables, aliases, etc.). |
