Welcome to Minihell, a simplified version of the Bash shell, written in C. This project is developed as part of the curriculum at 42 School, aiming to recreate basic functionalities of a Unix shell, similar to Bash. The name "Minihell" is a playful take on "Minishell," indicating the challenges and learning experiences faced while implementing this project.
Minihell implements several key features of a shell environment, including:
- Command parsing and execution.
- Signal handling (e.g.,
Ctrl+C,Ctrl+Z). - Tokenization of input for command and argument separation.
- Error handling and output.
Make sure you have the following dependencies installed on your system:
- GCC or any C compiler
- GNU Make
- Readline library (
libreadline-devon Debian/Ubuntu or equivalent on other systems) - libftprintf library (part of the project)
The project includes a Makefile to simplify the build process. Use the following commands to build, clean, or rebuild the project.
To compile the project, simply run:
makeAfter building the project, you can run the minishell executable with:
