Minishell

This project was completed as part of the curriculum at École 42. The goal of the project is to create a simple shell that can execute basic commands and handle redirections, pipes, and signals.

Installation

To install and run the program, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Open a terminal window and navigate to the root directory of the project.
3. Run the command make to compile the program.
4. Run the program using the command ./minishell.

Usage

The shell supports the following built-in commands:

• cd: change the current working directory.
• echo: display a message on the screen.
• env: display the environment variables.
• export: export and display environment variables.
• exit: exit the shell.

In addition to the built-in commands, the shell can execute external commands by entering their name followed by any necessary arguments. The shell also supports redirections using the > and < operators, as well as pipes using the | operator.

Example

Here's an example of how to use the shell to execute a command and redirect its output to a file:

$ echo "Hello, world!" > output.txt

In this example, the echo command is used to display the message "Hello, world!" on the screen, and the output is redirected to a file named "output.txt".
