HaSh (Hari's Shell) is a custom POSIX-compliant shell built from scratch in Java as a learning project. It provides an interactive command-line experience with essential shell functionalities, inspired by Unix-like shells. The goal of this project is to explore system programming concepts, shell internals, and command parsing while gradually adding new features.

✅ Built-in Commands: Includes exit, type, echo, cd, and pwd.

✅ POSIX-style Quoting & Escaping: Supports single quotes, double quotes, and backslash escaping.

✅ Redirection Operators: Handles input/output redirection for seamless command execution.

✅ Auto-Completion: Suggests commands on tab press for a smoother experience.

✅ External Program Execution: Runs system commands and executables like ls, cat, etc.

✅ Shell Command Parsing: Processes complex shell commands with arguments and options.

✅ REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop): Interactive session for executing multiple commands.

✅ Maven Build: Easily compile and run with Maven.

🚀 Planned Features:

🔹 Auto Completion for paths

🔹 Command History

🔹 Piping (|)

🔹 Job Control (background processes)

🔹 More Built-in Utilities
