Thanks for asking me to work on this. I will get started on it and keep this PR's description up to date as I form a plan and make progress.

Original prompt

  2. Features:
    • Display a prompt when waiting for a new command.
    • Working history.
    • Search and launch executables (PATH, relative, absolute).
    • Signal handling (one global variable).
    • Quote handling (single and double quotes).
    • Redirections (<, >, <<, >>).
    • Pipes (|).
    • Environment variables expansion ($).
    • Exit status expansion ($?).
    • Signal handling (ctrl-C, ctrl-D, ctrl-).
  3. Built-in Commands:
    • echo with -n
    • cd (relative/absolute)
    • pwd
    • export
    • unset
