A simple Unix shell implemented in C, built as part of the 42 curriculum.
This project recreates core features of a POSIX shell like bash or shell, following the specifications provided by the school.

• Prompt display and command input
• Execution of binaries from $PATH
• Built-in commands:
  • cd, echo, env, exit, export, pwd, unset
• Pipes (|)
• Redirections (>, >>, <, <<)
• Environment variable expansion ($VAR)
• Signal handling (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+\)
• Exit codes and error messages that follow shell behavior

• Writing a lexer, parser, and executor from scratch
• Managing processes and file descriptors (fork, execve, dup2, etc.)
• Handling signals and terminal behavior
• Understanding shell grammar, quoting, and edge cases
• Debugging complex memory leaks and edge behaviors with tools like valgrind
• Working in a multi-person team with Git and a shared codebase
