OS-1000-lines-zig Repository Overview Project Overview The OS-1000-lines-zig is a Zig-based operating system project aimed at creating a simple, lightweight OS focused on performance and scalability. Key Features Monolithic kernel architecture Basic process management support Basic memory management support Simple command-line interface Getting Started Prerequisites Zig compiler (version 0.10.0 or later) Code editor or IDE Terminal or command prompt Installation Steps Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/botirk38/OS-1000-lines-zig.git Change directory: cd OS-1000-lines-zig Build the project: zig build Usage Run the project: zig run Interact with the command-line interface to execute commands and view output. Examples Running a simple "Hello World" program Viewing system information such as memory usage and process list Architecture Overview The OS uses a monolithic kernel architecture, combining kernel and user space in one executable. The kernel manages processes, memory, and other system resources. Important Components src/kernel.zig — Kernel implementation (process and memory management) src/common.zig — Common utility functions and macros build.zig — Build script to compile and link the project Configuration Configuration is managed via the config.zig file. Edit the file and rebuild the project to change settings. Contributing Contributions are welcome. Fork the repository and submit pull requests with changes. Refer to CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.
