This project is aimed towards creating a exact clone of the
AirBnB website, with some of its features. The project is set to
evolve in stages with the first step being: Write a command interpreter to manage your AirBnB objects.
Using cmd.Cmd This first step covers the following features
for the command interpreter features:
- Create a new object (ex: a new User or a new Place)
- Retrieve an object from a file, a database etc…
- Do operations on objects (count, compute stats, etc…)
- Update attributes of an object
- Destroy an object
Clone the repository to your machine with the following:
$ git clone https://github.com/Uthmanduro/AirBnB_clone.git
After cloning the repository, the interpreter can be started using:
$ ./console.py
For a start, the console had no intro screen, so the only visible changes you will noticed is the change of prompt:
(hbnb)
Get yourself farmilar with all the basic commands using help,
with no additional arguements: the prompt will show a list of
possible commands, each of which is properly documented.
(hbnb) help
Documented commands (type help <topic>):
