Usage Once you have started Minishell, you can enter commands and execute them. The shell supports various features and built-in commands, including but not limited to:

Running external commands by specifying the command's name. Handling environment variables using the syntax $VAR_NAME. Redirecting input/output using the < and > symbols. Implementing pipes using the | symbol. Managing the exit status of previously executed commands with the $? variable. Implementing built-in commands like echo, cd, env, export, unset, exit, etc. Here's an example of using Minishell:

shell Copy code $ ./minishell minishell$ echo Hello, World! Hello, World! minishell$ ls -l total 8 -rwxr-xr-x 1 user staff 16376 May 20 12:00 minishell minishell$ cd .. minishell$ pwd /Users/user minishell$ exit $ Contributing Contributions to the Minishell project are welcome.
