minishell

This is a project for the 42 curriculum, in which you are asked to implement a basic shell command interpreter in C. The shell should be able to execute basic commands, handle redirections and pipelines, and support built-in commands such as cd, echo, and env.
The behavior of minishell is based on the bash shell.

I did this project with abenoit (here is the original repo https://framagit.org/abenoit/minishell), and it was my first group project at 42.

Getting Started

To get started with the project, you can clone this repository and navigate to the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/masakiva/minishell.git
cd minishell

You can then build the project:

make

This will compile the source code for the minishell program and create an executable file named minishell.

You can then run the minishell program and start using the shell:

./minishell

Project Requirements

The project is designed to test your ability to write complex programs in C, and to work effectively in a team environment. You will need to implement the following features:

• Basic command execution.
• Handling of single and double quotes.
• Handling of environment variables (e.g. $HOME, $PWD, %?, etc.).
• Redirections (>, >> and <).
• Pipelines (e.g. ls | grep foo).
• Built-in commands (cd, echo, pwd, env, export, unset, and exit).
• Proper handling of signals (CTRL-C, CTRL-\ and CTRL-D).

You will also need to ensure that your code is well-organized, properly commented, and conforms to the 42 coding standards.
