shitshell

A shell made for people who hate their lives

DISCLAIMER: This shell was a hard project to do, Especially for me as a beginner. This shell is not and will not be perfect. Please report bugs to the bugs section in this repo (Removed all the AI stuff from the previous commit to the README because I re-wrote the code again myself without external help or blindly copying and pasting code)

Now with that disclaimer said, Let's clarify what this shell can and can't do

This shell can:

• Run commands

• Store command history for the current session to navigate between commands (Using GNU readline)

• Run "cd" and "exit" commands and any other UNIX command

• Run third-party applications

• The shell supports the "~" symbol (without quotes) to go to the home directory

• Tab auto-completion (Enter a portion of the command/file/folder/etc. and press tab to complete it)

• Say which directory it is in (like zsh)

This shell can't:

• Do piping

• Be customized at all (Other than choosing whether to print the current directory or not)

Compiling:

NOTE: There is already a pre-compiled version of the program (shell, run using ./shell on most systems), But if for some reason you want to compile it yourself. Here is how

Compile using gcc:

Arch linux: sudo pacman -S gcc and then gcc -o shell shell.c -lreadline

Fedora: sudo dnf install gcc and then gcc -o shell shell.c -lreadline

Debian: sudo apt install gcc and then gcc -o shell shell.c -lreadline

Config file

As of the latest version, There is a config file for the program. The config file currently has only one option, Which is to choose whether to print the current directory or not.

The config file has to be located at (~/shitshell) since that is the file that the program looks for. To make the program print the current directory you have to make a file called "shitshell" in your home directory and add the following:

CurrentDicPrint=True

If the file doesn't exist or anything other than CurrentDicPrint=True is in the file, The program will automatically default to not print the current directory

NOTE: This shell works like any other shell, But with some features not implmented (it will be some day). Normal Linux commands will work and external commands will also work

Here is an example:

Shit_shell< whoami

yahia

Shit_shell< cd ~/Desktop/Projects

Shit_shell< ls

cprograms pythonshit

Shit_shell< cd cprograms/

Shit_shell< ls

calcproject shitshell

Shit_shell< cd ..

Shit_shell< grep

Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERNS [FILE]...

Try 'grep --help' for more information.

Shit_shell< gcc

gcc: fatal error: no input files

compilation terminated.

Shit_shell< cc

cc: fatal error: no input files

compilation terminated.

Features planned next:

• Customization

• Piping
