Bash Scripting

What is Bash?

Bash (Bourne Again Shell) is a widely used Shell in Linux systems. It provides an interactive command-line shell which also allows commands to be combined into script files, which can be run like programs. Combining commands into scripts saves time and reduces errors (like typos or other manual errors) that we might introduce.

  • Bash is pre-installed on most Linux Systems. To check if it is installed, open the terminal and type: bash --version
