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
• List files in the current directory: ls
• 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

• The C library documentation for the standard library functions used in the program
• bash man
