Features

Basics:

Working History.
Search and launch the right executable (based on the PATH variable or by using a relative or an absolute path).
Environment variables ($ followed by a sequence of characters) expand to their values.
’ (single quotes: inhibit all interpretation of a sequence of characters).
" (double quotes: inhibit all interpretation of a sequence of characters except for $.)
$? expand to the exit status of the most recently executed foreground pipeline.
| Pipes: The output of each command in the pipeline is connected via a pipe to the input of the next command.
ctrl-C, ctrl-D and ctrl-\ work like in bash.

Redirections:

< file: Redirect Input.
> file: Redirect Output.
<< file: Read Input from the current source until a line containing only the delimiter is seen.
>> file: Redirect Output with append mode.
