I'd like to give C programming from shell a try.

I think you mean you want to work in the console rather than
"from shell".

Why do you say that? I do all my C programming from the shell,
but I never work in the console.

What does that mean?

It means using development tools from the command shell (e.g.
bash) instead of from an IDE.

To me, programming from the shell would mean:

% echo '#include<stdio.h>' > hello.c
% echo 'int main(void) { puts("hello, world!"); return 0;}' >> hello.c
% gcc hello.c -o hello

That seems an incredibly absurd way to work. Perhaps rather
than "console", I should have said "in a terminal", but that's
certainly not the shell.

You can use a text-mode IDE (admittedly rare these days) from a
console or terminal.
