# MyShell
This is a simple shell implemented in Rust that supports basic command execution, pipes (|), and changing directories (cd). The shell continues to execute commands until you explicitly exit using the exit command.
## Features
- **Command Execution**: Execute basic system commands like ls, echo, cat, etc.
- **Piping**: Supports piping between multiple commands using |.
- **Change Directory**: Allows changing the working directory with cd.
- **Exit**: Exit the shell with the exit command.
## Usage
1. Clone the repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/BKarthik7/my_shell.git
cd my_shell
```
2. Install rust (Installation method may be different):
```sh
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
```
3. Build the project:
```sh
cargo build
```
4. Run the shell:
```sh
cargo run
```
5. Use the shell interactively:
```bash
> ls
> echo "Hello World" | cat
> cd ..
> exit
```
