This is a collaborative project for the ALX Software Engineering School, where we are building a simple shell, also known as a command-line interpreter. This shell is designed to mimic some of the basic functionalities of a Unix shell, such as executing commands, managing processes, and handling input/output.

Our simple shell project currently supports the following features:
- Command execution
- Path resolution
- Basic built-in commands (e.g.,
cd,exit) - Handling of command arguments
- Redirection of standard input and output
- Pipelining of commands
To use our simple shell, follow these steps:
-
Clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone [repository_url]
a). Compile the shell project
gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic *.c -o hsh
b).Run the shell project.
./hsh
c). You can now enter commands just like you would in a standard Unix shell.
Examples Here are some examples of how to use our shell:
Running a command
$ ls -l
d). Changing the working directory:
bash Copy code $ cd /path/to/directory Exiting the shell:
bash Copy code $ exit
Contributing We welcome contributions to our simple shell project. If you would like to contribute, please follow these steps:
Fork the repository. Create a new branch for your feature or bug fix. Make your changes and ensure that the code still builds and runs correctly. Submit a pull request with a clear description of your changes.
