introduction

The objective of this project is to create a simple shell and learn a lot about processes and file descriptors

The existence of shells is linked to the very existence of IT. At the time, all coders agreed that communicating with a computer using aligned 1/0 switches was seriously irritating. It was only logical that they came up with the idea to communicate with a computer using interactive lines of commands in a language somewhat close to english. With Minishell project, we’ll be able to travel through time and come back to problems people faced when Windows didn’t exist.
