# Minishell

Minishell is a 42 School project that involves creating a minimalistic shell in C language. The shell should be able to handle basic commands, manage environment variables and implement several built-in functions.

## Features

- Prompt management (display, editing, history)
- Command execution (with or without arguments)
- Basic shell operations (pipes, redirections)
- Environment variables management (listing, setting, unsetting)
- Built-in functions management (echo, cd, env, exit, export, pwd, unset)

## Getting started

1. Clone this repository: `git clone https://github.com/<your_username>/minishell.git`
2. `cd` into the cloned directory: `cd minishell`
3. Run the `make` command to compile the program: `make`
4. Start the shell by running the executable: `./minishell`

## Usage

Once the shell is started, you can enter commands as you would with any other shell. The following are some examples of commands that can be executed:

- Display the working directory: `pwd`
- Change directory: `cd <directory_name>`
- Print the value of an environment variable: `echo $<variable_name>`
- Set an environment variable: `export <variable_name>=<value>`
- Unset an environment variable: `unset <variable_name>`
- Display a list of environment variables: `env`
- Exit the shell: `exit`
