Final Devlog:

My shell now started to look like something, although I know that it’s not even close to be prod ready. I did my best to hack together something usable i.e that compiles. If I were to add more than that and I would need to create a whole programming language. Even tho I would love to, that’ll be for another day…

Oh, concerning new features, I added the GNU readline library (same used by other shell) so keyboard navigation actually works like a real shell.

I also used another library to handle the parsing instead of my custom parser (it served me well) and finally I customized the prompt to make it less generic.

Now Mishell also support basic piping.

😮‍💨 Took me soooo long just because I didn’t google enough. It was a good learning experience.

Now, I can finally sleep …

….
I can sleep now right ?
