Minishell

This project is about creating a simple shell. Yes, your own little bash. You will learn a lot about processes and file descriptors.

Program

Initial installation

git clone https://github.com/magnitopic/minishell.git
cd minishell
git submodule init
git submodule update

Compilation and execution

Note: Readline is required for the program to compile. On Linux this should not be a problem. On Mac it can be installed with Brew.

If issues persist you might need to change the value of the EXTRAFLAGS var in Makefile

make
./minishell

Execution with no env

env -i ./minishell

Unsupported features

The Minishell project attempts to function very similar to Bash but some features are not required or are from the bonus part.

Unclosed quotes, or special characters that are not required by the subject like \(backslash), ;(semicolon) or !!(bang bang) are not supported.

&& and || with parenthesis for priorities as well as *(wildcards) are features from the bonus part.

The only implemented builtins are echo, cd, pwd, export, unset, env and exit.
