src/main.c: Entry point of the program.src/shell.c: Implements the main shell loop and command execution.src/parse.c: Handles input reading and tokenization.src/ext.c: Launches external programs.src/builtins.c: Implements built-in shell commands.include/: Contains header files for the project.
To build the project, ensure you have gcc installed, then run:
makeThis will compile the source files and generate the executable my_program.
Run the shell with:
make runYou will see a prompt (>) where you can type commands. For example:
> ls
> cd ..
> help
> exitTo remove compiled files and the executable, run:
make cleanThis project is for educational purposes and does not include a specific license.
