"As beautiful as a shell"

About

Minishell is a project of the mandatory part of the cursus that I made with my friend Corentin Debraix. It's only made in C and the main goal was to create a shell working like bash. In this case we had to understand how processes, redirections, pipes, execve and bash builtins work. We also had to learn how bash was handling a command line (lexer / parser / exec).
