The minishell project was part of our curriculum at the 42Vienna programming school. This project is considered a milestone, and is a great jump in complexity from the previous assignments. Here you can find our implementation.

Features

Executing command line arguments
Built-in functionality (cd, echo, export, exit etc.)
Environment Variables
Command history
Pipe operator ( | )
Logical operators AND ( && ), OR ( || )
Wildcards operators ( * )
Heredoc
Output redirection
and more

The project is written in C for the GNU/Linux platform, using mostly self implemented tools, only relying on syscalls for interfacing with the OS.

Setup

To compile the program, simply run

make

The binary can then be found in the bin directory and run directly

Credits

We created this project as team with my teammate Andrej. Big thanks to him for implementing a lot of the functionality.
