Simple Shell Project

This is a simple shell implementation written in C. The shell provides a basic command-line interface for users to interact with the operating system.

Features

• Execute commands: Users can enter commands to be executed by the shell.
• Built-in commands: The shell supports a few built-in commands, such as cd to change directory and exit to exit the shell.
• Handling of external commands: The shell can execute external programs by forking a child process and using execve() to run the command.

Getting Started

Clone the repository:

 $ git clone https://github.com/your-username/simple-shell.git

 $ gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic *.c -o simple_shell

You can now start entering commands in the shell and explore its features.
