感谢你对 meatshell 的关注！🙏

meatshell 目前是一个**个人实验性项目**。它的设计、取舍和代码风格都由我一个人把控，目的是保持产品方向的一致性，做一个**轻量、专注的 FinalShell 风格 SSH 客户端**——不做成大而全的工具。

### 关于 Pull Request

为了保持这份一致性，**本项目暂不接受外部 Pull Request**。

这不是因为你的代码不够好，而是：

- 我希望每一行代码都经过自己的理解和取舍，避免项目逐渐偏离最初的设计意图；
- 维护一个能完全掌控的小项目，对我个人而言比快速扩张更重要。

如果你已经提交了 PR，我可能会在阅读后礼貌关闭，但**你的想法我都会认真看**——很多改进我会用自己的方式重新实现。

### 欢迎你这样参与

- 🐛 **报告 Bug**：在 [Issues](https://github.com/jeff141/meatshell/issues) 里描述复现步骤、系统环境和期望行为。
- 💡 **提出建议**：功能想法、交互改进、设计参考都欢迎在 Issue 区讨论。
- ⭐ **Star / Fork**：如果你喜欢它，欢迎 fork 出自己的版本自由折腾。

清晰的 Issue 对我的帮助，往往不亚于一个 PR。再次感谢！

## English

Thanks for your interest in meatshell! 🙏

meatshell is currently a **personal, experimental project**. Its design,
trade-offs, and code style are all maintained by a single person, on purpose —
the goal is a **lightweight, focused, FinalShell-style SSH client**, not an
all-in-one tool.

### About Pull Requests

To keep that consistency, **this project does not accept external Pull
Requests at this time.**

It's not that your code isn't good enough — rather:

- I want to personally understand and own every line of code, so the project
  doesn't gradually drift away from its original intent;
- For me, keeping a small project I fully control matters more than growing fast.

If you've already opened a PR, I may close it politely after reading, but
**I do read every idea** — and I'll often re-implement worthwhile improvements
in my own way.

### How you're very welcome to help

- 🐛 **Report bugs**: open an [Issue](https://github.com/jeff141/meatshell/issues)
  with repro steps, your OS/environment, and expected behavior.
- 💡 **Suggest ideas**: feature requests, UX improvements, and design references
  are all welcome in the issue tracker.
- ⭐ **Star / Fork**: if you like it, feel free to fork your own version and
  hack away.

A clear issue often helps me as much as a PR would. Thank you!
