From Scratch to Shell: Building Your Own Functional Bash
ever wondered what happens behind the scenes when you type a command into your terminal? This session takes you on a journey into the heart of the shell, where you'll learn how to build your own functional Bash from scratch. We'll guide you step by step through the core concepts, from handling user input and executing commands, to managing processes and system resources.
Starting with the basics, we'll progressively add essential features like piping, input/output redirection, and job control. You’ll also gain practical knowledge of how to implement built-ins such as cd, manage environment variables, and handle signals like a pro.
By the end of this talk, you'll have a deeper understanding of how Bash works and leave with the confidence to build your own simple, yet functional, shell. Whether you’re a systems programming enthusiast or a developer curious about the internals of Unix-based systems, this session will empower you to bring a shell to life.
