Minishell

This project is about creating a shell, where our shell will do some basic operations such as changing directories, handling pipes, redirections, and some other commands.

We called our shell Martho because it comes from our intra names, hamalmar and mthodi where we took Mar from hamal(Mar) and Tho from m(Tho)di.

Special thanks to ii-mnwr for being my project partner.

Features

• Basic Shell Operations: Execute commands like ls, echo, pwd, etc.
• Change Directories: Use cd to navigate through the file system.
• Pipes: Handle pipes (|) to connect multiple commands.
• Redirections: Support input (<), output (>), append (>>) and heredoc (<<) redirections.
• Built-in Commands: Implement built-in commands like cd, echo, pwd, export, unset, env, and exit.
• Environment Variables: Manage and expand environment variables.
• Signal Handling: Properly handle signals like Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D and Ctrl+\.
