Simple Shell

This is a basic Unix shell implemented in C, designed for simple command execution. It follows strict criteria outlined below:

Features

• Command Execution: The shell accepts one-word commands with optional arguments.

• Prompt Display: A prompt is displayed, waiting for the user to enter a command. After execution, the prompt is displayed again.

• Error Handling: If an executable cannot be found, an error message is displayed, and the prompt reappears.

• End of File Handling: The shell gracefully handles the "end of file" condition (Ctrl+D).

• Built-in Commands:

  • exit: Allows you to exit the shell.
  • env: Displays the current environment.

Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/simple-unix-shell.git

3. Run the Shell:
