BASH SHELL

Bash shell (also known as the Bourne-Again SHell) is a command-line interface (CLI) for interacting with your computer's operating system.

Think of it like a messenger between you and your computer's brain (the OS). You give commands, and Bash executes them.

Here's what Bash does:

1. Reads commands: You type commands, and Bash reads them.
2. Interprets commands: Bash figures out what you want to do.
3. Executes commands: Bash tells the OS to perform the actions.

Bash is:

• A shell: A program that surrounds the OS, allowing you to interact with it.
• A command-line interface: You type commands, and Bash responds.
• A scripting language: You can write scripts (like recipes) for Bash to execute.

Bash is widely used in:

• Linux
• macOS
• Unix
• Windows (with Windows Subsystem for Linux)

Some common Bash features include:

• Running programs
• Managing files and folders
• Customizing settings
• Automating tasks with scripts

Bash is powerful, flexible, and a fundamental tool for developers, sysadmins, and power users!
