minishell is a shell implementation in C, designed to mimic the behavior of a Bash shell. It must be equally compatible with Bash, meaning it should handle commands, pipes, arguments, redirections and all other shell features in a similar way. Of course, with limited access even to the C standard library, and perfectly managed memory.
main: The main branch, which should always be stable.dev: The development branch, where new features and changes are merged and tested before being pushed tomain.any other branch: Feature branches for development. These branches can be named according to the feature being developed, e.g.,feature/command-parser.
To test the shell with Valgrind using our suppression file:
valgrind --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all --track-origins=yes --suppressions=valgrind.supp ./minishellThe valgrind.supp file contains comprehensive suppressions for readline/libedit library leaks that are expected and not actual bugs. This will give you a clean output showing only your actual memory leaks.
If you would like to add more suppressions, add --gen-suppressions=yes flag, which will output rules for each leak found. You can then add these rules to the valgrind.supp file.
