CC-Shell - Custom Command-Line Shell

This project is a custom implementation of a command-line shell built with Go. It was developed as part of a coding challenge here. The shell provides basic command execution capabilities, along with history management and directory navigation.

Features

• Execute common shell commands (ls, pwd, cd, etc.).
• Maintain a persistent command history across sessions.
• Use cd - to switch to the previous directory.
• Handle Ctrl+C gracefully without terminating the shell.

Getting Started

These instructions will help you set up and run the project on your local machine for development and testing.
