HERE! I spent an hour finding how to pr in github and here it is! Also, maybe create gitlab mirror? Sorry for my crass language im extremely angry.
You should refrain from using such language in issues. This could result in a ban if you don't stop doing it. It's really not required. Issues are ment to be friendly discussions about an issue.

I believe you should level up your searching skills and doing a simple pull request is not hard at all. Also your git tree is filled up with nonsense commits so please don't.
Also, maybe create gitlab mirror?
I don't like gitlab it really does not have the benefits its of GitHub. Could make a mirror in the future.
Also the commit you made is makes exec not really do what it's ment to do. It's ment to take the full path mate. Think if you compile a program in the root and try it exec it with this patch applied it would fail. It's very simple. Just think about it.
I deeply apologize, over the past 2 months many things regarding the shell on my system would mysteriously not work or bug out. That made me get angry a lot, sorry....
The command I used to initiate a pull request was not at fault, after upgrading my packages the format I used worked on a dummy repository.

Now I realize your intention.... shouldn't you add ./program support though? Under most unix-like Operating Systems program looks at /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin and executes the program found there while ./program executes a program in the directory its placed in, and exec program quits the current process in favor of "program".
No it does not look at that paths. It just looks what is in the path environment variable and if the path is an absolute path or relative path, if it is it will try to resolve it.
eh?
My shell doesnt do that, it checks for the enviornent var for the binaries, I know that but executing with the absolute path or relative path without ./ does nothing except try to fetch from a path by the env var.
