= Zigish - Zig Interactive Shell

MOVED! Hello, I am moving my repos to http://ratfactor.com/repos/ and setting them to read-only ("archived") on GitHub. Thank you, -Dave

== I am a real shell!...ish

This is a minimalist toy Unix shell written in Zig.

*** Hello, I am a real shell! ***

ls README.adoc build.zig src zig-cache date Sat Jun 5 13:26:59 EDT 2021 foo ERROR: error.FileNotFound

It has almost no error checking and is otherwise unsuitable for "real work" and it never will.

I started with this tutorial: https://brennan.io/2015/01/16/write-a-shell-in-c/[Write a Shell in C].

The comments explain it pretty well. But check out my article, http://ratfactor.com/zig/forking-is-cool[Forking is Cool] for the whole story.

Enjoy! :-)
