Minishell: A Lightweight Bash-like Shell

Overview

Minishell is a custom-built, lightweight shell that replicates essential Bash functionalities, enabling users to execute commands, manage processes, and handle I/O redirection efficiently.

Key Features

Process Management

• Supports running applications as separate child processes using fork().
• Implements sequential (;) and parallel (&) execution for efficient command processing.

Shell Built-in Commands

• cd: Navigate the file system with relative and absolute paths.
• pwd: Display the current directory path.
• exit / quit: Terminate the shell session.

Environment Variable Support

• Allows defining and using environment variables within commands.
• Supports variable inheritance from the parent shell.

Command Operators

• Piping (|): Redirects output from one command to another.
• Conditional Execution (&& / ||): Enables execution chains based on success/failure.
• Execution Control (; / &): Runs commands sequentially or in parallel.

I/O Redirection

• Redirects input (<), output (>), and error streams (2>, &>).
• Supports append mode for output redirection (>>, 2>>).

Implementation Highlights

• Uses fork() for process creation and execvp() for command execution.
• Implements anonymous pipes for inter-process communication.
• Utilizes file descriptors and dup2() for efficient I/O redirection.

Minishell is a robust, efficient, and user-friendly shell implementation designed for seamless command execution and process management. 🚀
