SysShivt tools used to be an operating system running in CMD using Batch files.
It started in 30.8.2021, and this project has been ended with the successor being Shivtanium.
That's because SysShivt tools uses this repository as a download server so that it can detect updates and automatically install them to this day.
(Also at the time of making this repository, I didn't know much about GitHub.)
