This project is the first step in building a full web application that emulates the core functionalities of the popular platform Airbnb. This initial step focuses on creating a command-line interpreter (CLI) to manage AirBnB objects. The project sets the foundation for subsequent development tasks, including HTML/CSS templating, database storage, API integration, and front-end development.

The command interpreter, implemented in console.py, serves as a tool to interact with and manage AirBnB objects. It allows users to perform various operations on objects, such as creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting them. The interpreter follows a Shell-like interface and provides commands to manipulate AirBnB objects.

To start the AirBnB Clone command interpreter, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/AirBnB_clone.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd AirBnB_clone

3. Run the command interpreter:

   ./console.py

Once you have started the command interpreter, you can use the following commands to manage AirBnB objects:

• create: Create a new AirBnB object (e.g., User, State, City, Place). Example:

  (hbnb) create User

• show: Retrieve information about a specific object by specifying its class name and ID. Example:

  (hbnb) show User 1234-5678-9012

• all: List all objects of a given class or list all objects if no class is specified. Example:

  (hbnb) all
  (hbnb) all State

• update: Update attributes of an object by specifying its class name, ID, attribute name, and attribute value. Example:

  (hbnb) update User 1234-5678-9012 first_name "John"

• destroy: Delete an object by specifying its class name and ID. Example:

  (hbnb) destroy Place 9876-5432-1098

• quit or EOF: Exit the command interpreter. Example:

  (hbnb) quit

• help: Display a list of available commands or get help for a specific command. Example:

  (hbnb) help
  (hbnb) help show

Here are some examples of how to use the AirBnB Clone command interpreter:

1. Creating a new User object:

   (hbnb) create User

2. Listing all City objects:

   (hbnb) all City

3. Updating the name attribute of a Place object:

   (hbnb) update Place 1234-5678-9012 name "Cozy Cabin"

4. Deleting a State object:

   (hbnb) destroy State 9876-5432-1098

5. Exiting the command interpreter:

   (hbnb) quit

The AirBnB Clone command interpreter provides a convenient way to manage and manipulate AirBnB objects, making it an essential tool for developing the full-fledged AirBnB clone web application.
