What is Shell-Bash?

Shell-Bash is a command-line interface (CLI) program used to execute commands and scripts on Unix and Linux systems. Bash stands for "Bourne-again shell," which is a reference to the original Bourne shell that Shell-Bash was based on.

Installing Shell-Bash

macOS

macOS comes with Shell-Bash pre-installed, so you don't need to install it separately. You can access it by opening Terminal, which is located in the Applications/Utilities folder.

Linux

Most Linux distributions also come with Shell-Bash pre-installed. If not, you can use your package manager to install it. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use the following command:

sudo apt-get install bash

Windows

Windows doesn't have Shell-Bash pre-installed, but you can install it through a third-party application called Git Bash. You can download Git Bash from the official website here.

Basic Commands to Get Started

Once you have Shell-Bash installed, you can start executing commands. Here are a few basic commands to get started:

• ls: list the contents of the current directory
• cd: change the current directory
• mkdir: create a new directory
• touch: create a new file
• cp: copy a file or directory
• mv: move a file or directory
• rm: remove a file or directory
