LeanREPL

A simple REPL environment for Lean 4 that also supports meta-commands (commands starting with "!").

The code in this repository was adapted from:

Usage

Run .../LeanREPL$ lake build and an executable file will be created under build/bin.

Then you can run it and pass the initial imported modules. Init is already added by default. Example:

.../LeanREPL$ ./build/bin/LeanREPL Std

Meta-commands

Meta-commands are just commands that start with "!" and allow extra control of the REPL. The ones available are:

!rb <n> rolls the REPL back to the state it was n commands ago
!reset resets the REPL to the initial state
!quit exits the REPL

Example:

> def a := 1
> def a := 2 -- causes an error and doesn't stack a new state
repl:1:4: error: 'a' has already been declared
> def b := 2
> def c := 3
> !rb 2      -- undoes the definitions of `b` and `c`
> #check a
a : Nat
> #check b
repl:1:7: error: unknown identifier 'b'
> #check c
repl:1:7: error: unknown identifier 'c'
> !reset     -- undoes all definitions
> #check a
repl:1:7: error: unknown identifier 'a'
> !quit
