Bsh (short for bad shell) is a simple shell made by me in C++. It supports basic features like pipes, redirections, environment variable expansion, script execution, and a colorful prompt.

• Command execution – Every shell can do this
• A few built-in commands
• Piping – Commands can be piped into each other by using |
• File completion using TAB - Thanks to GNU Readline
• stdout/stderr/stdin redirection using > >> 2> 2>> < 2> 2>> <
• Env variable expansion – $VAR or ${VAR} will be expanded
• Script execution – Put a few commands into a file and run it
• Colored prompt – Nothing more to say about that
• Command history – Lets you run commands from your history (also some other stuff but not enough space)
• Displays the last exit code 🤯
• Multiline commands using \ and separating commands using ;
• Support for all kinds of wildcards

• A computer
• Linux
