This project is about developing a simplified version of the bash shell.
Minishell project is divided into 4 distinct parts:
- Lexer: Takes the entered line as input and reads through the line word by word using white space as delimiters.
- Parser: Groups the different nodes together based on the tokens (i.e.
|,<,>>,>>,>). Each group becomes a command. - Expander: Takes variables, identified by
$, and replaces them with their value from the environment variables. - Executor: Is the one in charge of executing the final command.
