--a minimalist shell made from scratch--
```
**TinyShell** is a minimal & custom-built Unix shell written in pure C. It represent my first "unix" project after switching from Windows dev. It supports essential shell functionnalities with builtin commands & custom binaries.
>[!Important]
>This repo contains samples I wroted. It may not be perfect so don't blame me if you see potentials errors.
>[!Warning]
>I had habit to use C under windows env so don't blame me if you see Windows synthax haha.
## ✨ Core features
🟢 **Command lexing & parsing** : using lexer synhtax interpretation + quote handling + AST implementation for commands parsing.
🟢 **Signals interruptions handling** : handling interruptions like CTRL-c etc.
🟢 **Builtin functions** : base builtins functions `exit, echo, clear, history, pwd`
🟢 **Working on custom core functions** like `ls, cat, mkdir, touch` etc for bringing more fun calling custom binaries like a real shell.
🟢 **Command execution** : main core command execution using native programs & custom programs. => execvp usage.
🟢 **Root detection** : detects if current user is in root mode
🔴 **Handling more options** : >>, <<, &&
🔴 **Handling env** : Handling environment variables
🔴 **Auto-completion** : adding auto-completion with tab
