# rshell

UNIX shell in Rust

It is an experimental shell developed as a pet-project to improve my understanding of the operating system, processes, and the shell itself. I do not recommend to use `rshell` as main shell since there are possibly bugs or unexpected behaviour.

## Features

1. Built-in commands such as `cd`, `exit` etc.

2. Base system commands such as `ls`, `mkdir` etc.

3. Logical AND (`&&`) implementation

4. Sequential execution (`;`) implementation

5. Pipes

6. I/O redirection (both `>` for write and `>>` for append)

7. Script execution (`rshell` can run files as interpretor)

8. Profile - file that executed as the shell process started

9. Variables

10. Aliases

11. String literals

12. Functions

13. Instants (instant commands)

14. Command history

15. Comments

See the [documentation](./docs.md)

## Usage

Clone this repo:

```shell

git clone https://github.com/shelepuginivan/rshell.git

cd rshell

```

You can run it in development mode with

```shell

cargo run

```

or build with

```shell

cargo build --release

```

After building, you can find binary `rsh` file in `./target/release` directory. You can move it to directory that is accessable in global scope or export path to it.
