This tends to implement a basic\nshell that is simple and easy to understand so as to provide a starting point\non learning how shells actually work.\n\n## Usage\n\nTo getting started with `sish` make sure you have the  following installed on your system;\n\n- `git`\n- `gcc` - GNU Compiler Collection\n- `make` - GNU Make utility\n\n1. **Compilation**: Build from source\n\n   To compile the program, run the following\n\n   ```sh\n   mkdir simple_shell\n   cd simple_shell\n   git clone https://github.com/henryhale/sish.git\n   make\n   ```\n\n2. **(Optional) Global Installation**\n\n   Make `sish` available on the system globally\n\n   ```sh\n   sudo cp ./build/sish /usr/local/bin\n   ```\n\n   Uninstall using:\n\n   ```sh\n   sudo rm /usr/local/bin/sish\n   ```\n\n3. **Execution**: Run the compiled executable\n\n   If you installed the executable globally, run\n\n   ```sh\n   sish\n   ```\n\n   Otherwise, manually run the shell using\n\n   ```sh\n   cd build\n   ./sish\n   ```\n\n   Now you should see the `sish` prompt like `[shell-1234] $ `. The number after the hyphen (-) corresponds to the process ID.\n\n4. **Enjoy `sish`** 🚀\n\n   Type out some commands. Use `exit` to exit the shell.\n\n## Contributing\nContributions are welcome!\nIf you find any issues or have improvements, please [open an issue](https://github.com/henryhale/sish/issues) or create a pull request. \n\n## References\n- [C Reference Manual](https://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-c-manual/gnu-c-manual.html)\n- [GNU Compiler Collection](https://gcc.gnu.org)\n- [GNU Make utility](https://gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/index.html)\n\n## License\nThis project is licensed under the [MIT License](./LICENSE.md)\n\nCopyright \u0026copy; 2024-present, [Henry Hale](https://github.com/henryhale)","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhenryhale%2Fsish","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhenryhale%2Fsish","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhenryhale%2Fsish/lists"}
