## Description

Minishell is a project from 42 School that involves creating a simple yet functional shell in C. The goal of this project is to gain a deeper understanding of how shells work and to develop advanced programming skills in C.

## Features

- Execution of basic commands (e.g., `ls`, `echo`, `cat`, etc.)

- Input and output redirection (`>`, `>>`, `<`)

- Pipes (`|`)

- Environment variables

- Signal handling and process management

- Support for built-in commands like `cd`, `export`, `unset`, `env`, `exit`

## Requirements

- Unix-based operating system (Linux or macOS)

- GCC compiler

- Readline library (optional for advanced functionality)

## Installation

1. Clone the repository:

    ```sh

    git clone https://github.com/pablovilchez/42-minishell.git

    ```

2. Navigate to the project directory:

    ```sh

    cd minishell

    ```

3. Compile the project:

    ```sh

    make

    ```

## Usage

Run the shell by executing the following command:

```sh

./minishell

```

## Built-in Commands

- `cd [directory]`: Change the current directory.

- `export [variable]=[value]`: Set an environment variable.

- `unset [variable]`: Remove an environment variable.

- `env`: Display the current environment variables.

- `exit [status]`: Exit the shell with a status code.

## Examples

```sh

$ ./minishell

minishell> ls -l

total 8

-rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 4096 Jun 12 12:00 minishell

minishell> echo "Hello, World!"

Hello, World!

minishell> cat < file.txt | grep "search" > output.txt

minishell> exit

$

```
