Welcome to Minishell! This project is part of the 42 curriculum and focuses on creating a simple shell. The goal is to gain a deep understanding of how shells work by implementing key features such as command execution, environment variable management, and signal handling.
To get started with Project Minishell, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository
- Build the project using:
make - Run the shell:
./minishell
- Command Execution: Execute external commands and programs.
- Environment Variable Management: Handle environment variables and expansions.
- Signal Handling: Manage signals to ensure proper shell behavior.
- Pipelines and Redirections: Support for command pipelines, output/input redirection and heredocs.
Minishell includes some built-in commands:
- echo: Display a message.
- cd: Change the current directory.
- pwd: Print the current working directory.
- export: Set environment variables.
- unset: Unset environment variables.
- env: Display the environment variables.
- exit: Exit the shell.
