Raptor Shell 🦅

A custom, lightweight Unix shell built from scratch in C. Raptor Shell provides a terminal experience complete with custom dynamic prompts, command execution, piping, and command chaining.

---

🚀 Features

• Custom Dynamic Prompt: Features a sleek, two-line Kali-inspired prompt that dynamically updates with your current working directory (getcwd).
• Command Execution: Executes standard system binaries using fork() and execvp().
• Piping Support (|): Seamlessly redirects standard output of one command into the standard input of another using system pipe() and dup2().
• Command Chaining (&&): Allows executing multiple sequential commands.
• History Support: Built on top of the GNU readline library, enabling command history navigation using arrow keys.
