bst-shell - Shell into an element's sandbox environment

bst shell [OPTIONS] ELEMENT [COMMAND]...

Run a command in the target element's sandbox environment

This will stage a temporary sysroot for running the target element, assuming it has already been built and all required artifacts are in the local cache.

Use the --build option to create a temporary sysroot for building the element instead.

Use the --sysroot option with an existing failed build directory or with a checkout of the given target, in order to use a specific sysroot.

If no COMMAND is specified, the default is to attempt to run an interactive shell.
