Minishell

Description

Minishell is a project that aims to create a simple shell.

Usage

make
./minishell

Norm

• Optimised variables types. ex: int8_t instead of int.
• Variables & functions names : lowercase and snake_case.
• Variables names: logical and explicit.
• Use libmms for memory management.
• Logical names at all times.

How to push

• Never push directly on master.
• Create branch for your edits.
• After your edits, fetch and merge to master.
• Push.

alias sgit=git fetch --all && git pull --all && git branch
alias submodule=git submodule update --init

sgit && submodule
git branch <branch_name>
git switch <branch_name>

merge to master:

git add .
git commit -m "<message>"
git switch master
sgit
git merge <branch_name>
git push

push branch:

git add .
git commit -m "<message>"
git push <branch_name>

Delete branch:

git branch -D <branch_name>
