Shell written in Go

Why Reinvent the Wheel?

This is a fun little project for me to get more familiar with Go, its Stdlib and idiomatic use. So why the heck not?

More on the background of the project in this blog post.

go build -o shell cmd/myshell/*.go && ./shell

Shell builtins: echo, type, pwd, cd
File System navigation
File descriptor redirection for stdout and stderr with [fd]>[|] and [fd]>>
SIGINT handling for cancelling a currently running process or not yet entered input on Ctrl+C
Autocomplete with Tab for shell builtins and executables on PATH
Pipes
