Minishell is a minimalist shell implementation in C, created for educational purposes. The project supports basic features of a bash-like shell.

• Execute external programs with arguments
• Built-in commands: echo, cd, pwd, export, unset, env, exit
• Support for pipes (|) and redirections (>, <, >>, <<)
• Heredoc (<<)
• Environment variables (export, modify, unset)
• Signal handling (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D)
• Command history (via readline)
• Proper memory management

Requires GNU Make, a C compiler, and the readline library.

make

./minishell

• src/ — minishell source code
• includes/ — header files
• libft/ — custom C standard library functions
• tests/ — tests (if present)
• Makefile — build rules

Type commands as in a regular shell:

echo Hello, World!
export VAR=42
echo $VAR
ls -l | grep minishell > result.txt
cat << EOF
multi-line
heredoc
EOF

For educational use only.
