ChirpShell, is a TUI for the command line program of chirp. Instead of remembering all the switches for the command line, you can use this simple script and make more stuff than you would have done, by using only the cli chirp program.
With ChirpShell, you can download the memory of a Ham Radio device in seconds, make changes to individual channels and then upload them instantly. The great stuff is, that if you have multiple HT radios, of the same model, you can speed the process of cloning the channel list, thus saving time and avoiding mistakes.
The script can be downloaded from my Github repository here:
Some features are not well implemented, because of lack of documentation. Still the script is usable. If someone has more information and can provide help on making the script even better, please do so.
