README.md

This is a starting point for Go solutions to the "Build Your Own Shell" Challenge.

In this challenge, you'll build your own POSIX compliant shell that's capable of interpreting shell commands, running external programs and builtin commands like cd, pwd, echo and more. Along the way, you'll learn about shell command parsing, REPLs, builtin commands, and more.

Note: If you're viewing this repo on GitHub, head over to codecrafters.io to try the challenge.

Passing the first stage

The entry point for your shell implementation is in app/main.go. Study and uncomment the relevant code, then run the command below to execute the tests on our servers:

codecrafters submit

Time to move on to the next stage!

Stage 2 & beyond

Note: This section is for stages 2 and beyond.

Ensure you have go (1.27) installed locally
Run ./your_program.sh to run your program, which is implemented in app/main.go.
Run codecrafters submit to submit your solution to CodeCrafters. Test output will be streamed to your terminal.
