## Usage
Once you start ShellRS, you can begin typing commands just like you would in any other shell.
### Basic Commands
- **List Files (`ls`)**:
```sh
> ls
```
This command lists all files and directories in the current directory.
- **Print Working Directory (`pwd`)**:
```sh
> pwd
```
This command displays the full path of the current directory.
- **Echo Text (`echo`)**:
```sh
> echo Hello, ShellRS!
```
This command outputs the specified text to the terminal.
### Directory Navigation
- **Change Directory (`cd`)**:
```sh
> cd src
```
This command changes the current directory to `src`.
- **List Files in New Directory (`ls`)**:
```sh
> ls
```
After changing the directory, you can list the files in the new directory.
### Piping and Redirection
- **Pipe Commands**:
```sh
> ls | grep Cargo
```
This command lists all files and directories, and then filters the output to show only those containing "Cargo".
### Error Handling
- **Invalid Command**:
```sh
> invalidcommand
```
This command will show an error message indicating that the command was not found.
- **Invalid Directory**:
```sh
> cd nonexistentdirectory
```
This command will show an error message indicating that the directory does not exist.
### Environment Variables
- **Set Environment Variable**:
```sh
> export MYVAR=myvalue
```
This command sets an environment variable `MYVAR` with the value `myvalue`.
- **Use Environment Variable**:
```sh
> echo $MYVAR
```
This command outputs the value of `MYVAR`.
### History and Tab Completion
- **Command History**:
Use the up and down arrow keys to navigate through your command history.
- **Tab Completion**:
Start typing a command or file name and press `Tab` to auto-complete.
To exit the shell, you can type:
```sh
> exit
