🚀 Key Features ✨

Feature	Description
✅ Windows-like Commands	Supports dir, cd, mkdir, del, copy, type, cls
⚡ Extensible	Easily add new commands via Java classes
🖥️ Executable Packaging	Packaged into .exe using Launch4j
🛠️ Installer Wizard	Simple setup using Inno Setup
🌐 Cross-Platform	Works on Windows and Linux (via jpackage)

---

📦 Requirements

To build MyCMD you need:

• Java JDK 17+
• Apache Maven
• Launch4j (for .exe wrapping)
• Inno Setup (for Windows installer)

(Linux users can use jpackage instead of Launch4j/Inno Setup.)

---

🛠️ Build Instructions

Building MyCMD is simple and automated for both Windows 🪟 and Linux 🐧 platforms

🔹 Windows

scripts\build-windows.bat

📦 This script will automatically:

1.🧩 Build the JAR using Apache Maven

2.⚙️ Wrap it into an .exe using Launch4j

3.🪄 Generate a setup.exe installer via Inno Setup

Final Output

dist/
 ┣ bin/MyCMD.exe
 ┣ lib/dependencies.jar
 ┗ setup.exe

Linux

chmod +x scripts/build-linux.sh
./scripts/build-linux.sh

This will build a .deb or .rpm package using jpackage.

🖥️ Usage

After installation, run:

MyCMD

You can now use commands like:

> dir
> cd ..
> mkdir test
> echo Hello World!
> type file.txt
> del file.txt
> help
> exit

🧩 Extending MyCMD

Note

There are many commands left like ls and Ping Command
