Minishell

The objective of this project is for you to create a simple shell. Yes, your little bash or zsh. You will learn a lot about processes and file descriptors.

This is a group project done with @adelcor.

The shell must:

• interpret quotes correctly
• expand environment variables, including $?
• detect syntax errors
• have a prompt with a working history
• execute builtins, such as echo, cd, pwd, export, unset, env, and exit
• interpret simple and double quotes
• execute redirections (<, >, <<, >>)
• execute pipes
• Catch ctrl-C, ctrl-D, and ctrl-\ signals
