What is Lumina Python shell wrapper?

Lumina's a lightweight Python tool that wraps your existing shell (Bash, Zsh, etc.) to add ghost text suggestions from your command history, Fish-style, without changing shells.

How do I install Lumina terminal tool?

`pip install lumina-shell`, then add `alias lumina='lumina-shell'` to your .bashrc or .zshrc, and launch with `lumina your-shell`.

Does Lumina replace Fish shell autosuggest?

No, it enhances your current shell with similar ghost text — no full switch needed, keeping things portable and config-light.
