Language overview
Bash programming language
Bash (Bourne Again SHell) is a Unix-shell and command-language interpreter widely used on Linux and macOS (and available on Windows via WSL). It’s a procedural, text-based shell that reads and executes commands from standard input or script files. Bash supports features like pipelines, redirection, functions, arrays, and extensive built-in commands, making it a go-to tool for shell scripting, automation of system tasks, and command-line interaction on POSIX-compliant systems.
