Moti Patli Shell

Description

Moti Patli Shell is a custom terminal shell designed to provide basic file and system operations in a user-friendly manner. It includes commands for creating, deleting, and managing files, as well as utilities for directory and system interactions. This shell is built using Bash and Python, with additional functionalities powered by a shared library (code.so).

Features

• File Operations: Create, delete, list, and view files.
• System Commands: Get the current directory, display user info, and clear the terminal.
• Customizations: Change terminal background, foreground colors, and font styles.
• Third-Party Integrations: Open files in Visual Studio Code or Nano editor.
• Advanced Utilities: Use commands like grep to search within files or ping to test network connectivity.

   • Ensure Python 3 is installed.
   • Compile the code.so shared library using gcc if not already compiled.

     gcc -shared -o code.so -fPIC code.c

   • Install necessary tools like xterm, nano, and Visual Studio Code (optional).

2. Start the Shell: Run the following command to start the Moti Patli Shell:
