This is still under active development. Things might break, change, or not work at all.
An attempt at building a basic Unix shell in Zig. It's based on Stephen Brennan's "Write a Shell in C" tutorial, but using Zig's safety features and error handling.
- Takes commands and runs them (like a very basic bash)
- Has a few built-in commands (cd, help, exit)
