Bash scripting is like writing a recipe for your computer.
Imagine you have a series of tasks you want your computer to perform, like:
- Open a folder
- Copy a file
- Rename it
- Move it to another folder
Instead of doing these tasks manually, you can write a "script" that tells your computer to do them automatically.
Bash scripting is a way to write these instructions in a file, using a special language that your computer's operating system (like Linux or macOS) can understand.
The script is like a list of commands that the computer executes one by one, just like following a recipe.
Bash scripting is useful for:
- Automating repetitive tasks
- Saving time
- Increasing efficiency
- Simplifying complex tasks
It's called "Bash" scripting because it uses the Bash shell, a program that interprets the script and executes the commands.
Think of it like a macro in Excel or a batch file in Windows, but for Unix-based systems!
