Bash

Bourne-Again Shell (Bash) is a Unix shell, and is the standard for the GNU Project. Although there are more Unix shells available, Bash is probably the most widely used and the easiest to learn. In a Unix environment, we can interact with Bash either directly via a terminal application or indirectly by writing and executing Bash scripts.

This section will discuss the main terminology around Bash, use cases, general set-up and configuration files, Bash scripting syntax & useful commands, and a brief introduction to other alternatives.
