Crabshell is a shell with simple Unix-like functionality, written in Rust.
The idea for the project was formed after creating a similar shell in C for an operating systems course at NTNU, sparking some interest in systems programming.
For more information about the shell written in C, see my flush project on GitHub.
Crabshell supports the following:
- Running executables in your
PATH, for instancels,cd,grep, etc... - I/O redirection
- Background tasks, with a custom implementation of the
jobscommand - Pipelines
See examples below.
