Introduction:

The simple shell project is a project for students of alx africa school and that project is the final project for the basics of c programming language , shell commands.The simple shell project is a simulation for the real shell of linux and it works with the same way which the real shell works with.

Usage:

In order to run this program, Clone This Repo https://github.com/mokhtarmramadan/simple_shell.git compile it with: gcc 4.8.4 -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic *.c -o hsh run it with ./hsh command

  4. check if the input of the user is exit it will exit the program
• check_getline.c:
  1. check if the getline function succeed or not
  2. check if the buffer array which has the input of the user has any spaces
  3. check if the command is env it will print the environment variable
