Almond Shell

A simple implementation of a shell in C, written by Ammar Subei. Still a work-in-progress, and needs a decent amount of polishing.
Now supports basic tab-completion for file system paths, and supports access to command history using the arrow keys.

Enter your desired command followed by its arguments (if any). Supports some built-in functions like "cd" and "exit". Makefile provided for compilation.

Functionality

The shell's up-to-date functionality:

1. Maximum of 20 arguments
2. Maximum of 2500 characters per line
3. Supports basic I/O redirection

• Maximum of 2 different redirections per line
• command > filename redirects the output of command to filename, overwriting existing contents of filename
• command >> filename redirects the output of command to filename, appending to existing contents of filename
• command < filename redirects command to read its input from filename

4. Supports changing current working directory
5. Supports basic tab-completion
6. Supports command history
7. Does not support background processes
8. Does not support command pipes

TO-DOs

Here is a checklist of things I plan to work on for Almond Shell:

• Update user prompt to show current directory
• Support changing current directory
• Provide user with help command
• Support tab-completion/auto-complete
• Support command history
• Support command pipes
