# **Python Terminal**
A Python-based Linux terminal simulation that allows users to execute basic file system commands within a virtual environment. Includes support for file management, directory navigation, and command aliases.
---
## **Features**
- **File System Management**:
- Create folders and files (`mkdir`, `touch`).
- List directory contents (`ls`).
- Read and delete files (`read`, `rm`).
- Rename files or folders (`mv`).
- Navigate directories (`cd`, `cd ..`, `pwd`).
- Delete folders (`rmdir`).
- **Aliases**:
- Define custom aliases for frequently used commands (`alias`).
- Remove aliases (`unalias`).
- Save and load aliases automatically.
- **Help Menu**:
- View all available commands using the `help` command.
- **Persistence**:
- Virtual file system and aliases persist across sessions.
---
