rshell

UNIX shell in Rust

It is an experimental shell developed as a pet-project to improve my understanding of the operating system, processes, and the shell itself. I do not recommend to use rshell as main shell since there are possibly bugs or unexpected behaviour.

Features

1. Built-in commands such as cd, exit etc.
2. Base system commands such as ls, mkdir etc.
3. Logical AND (&&) implementation
4. Sequential execution (;) implementation
5. Pipes
6. I/O redirection (both > for write and >> for append)
7. Script execution (rshell can run files as interpretor)
8. Profile - file that executed as the shell process started
9. Variables
10. Aliases
11. String literals
12. Functions
13. Instants (instant commands)
14. Command history
15. Comments

See the documentation

Usage

Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/shelepuginivan/rshell.git
cd rshell

You can run it in development mode with

cargo run

or build with

cargo build --release

After building, you can find binary rsh file in ./target/release directory. You can move it to directory that is accessable in global scope or export path to it.
