What is Bash Scripting?

This video explains what is Bash scripting and teaches you how to write your first shell script file.

A Bash script is a text file that contains raw Bash commands, that the Linux system can understand. Instead of typing the commands manually one by one in your Linux terminal, you add all the commands in a text file and asks your OS shell to execute them all at once.

Bash script is also a full-featured programming language, where you can write conditionals (if-else) statements, while-loops, for-loops, declare and use variables, and several other high-level elements that can really help you as a system administrator or developer.

You will learn how to create a shell file, add Linux shell commands to it, and ask Bash to execute and interpret the contents of your code.

Finally, we quickly review where and why Bash scripting is used and how it can help UNIX and Linux administrators and programmers.

Bash scripts work on Linux, UNIX, and also macOS operating systems.
