Mini Shell (Node.js)

A minimal Unix-like shell written in Node.js.

This project was built as a learning exercise, guided by the CodeCrafters “Build Your Own Shell” challenge.
It is not a copy-paste tutorial project — the goal was to understand how shells work internally and implement core behavior step by step.
