🌐[My Twitter account](https://x.com/Lilien_RIG)
The Minishell project is about building a simplified [Unix shell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_shell#:~:text=A%20Unix%20shell%20is%20a,the%20system%20using%20shell%20scripts.), focusing on basic command execution, process management, and input/output handling to simulate core shell functionalities in a minimalistic style. 🚀
