Black-Hole1004 / Minishell

This project is about creating a simple shell. Yes, my own little bash.

Minishell

• Minishell is a simple Unix-like shell that I created as a project for my C programming class.
• It supports basic shell functionality like running commands, changing directories, and setting environment variables.
• It was developed using C.

Features

• Runs shell commands like ls, cd, echo, etc, without '&&' and '||'.
• Supports piping and redirection of input/output
• Implements environment variables
• Supports basic signal handling (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, Ctrl+, Ctrl+L)
• Supports tab completion for commands and paths

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A C compiler (e.g. GCC)
• Readline library installed
• Make command installed

Installation

• Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Black-Hole1004/minishell.git
• Navigate to the project directory: cd minishell
• run make
• then execute the binary ./minishell
• And you're good to go, enjoy ! .

Usage

• Once you have Minishell up and running, you can use it just like any other Unix shell. Here are a few examples of commands you can try:

ls
cd /usr/bin
echo "Hello, world!"

• You can also use piping and redirection to manipulate input and output:

ls -la | grep "minishell"
echo "This will be written to a file" > output.txt

• For more information on how to use Minishell, you can refer to the man page.
