Why Should I Learn Bash Scripting?We like you already. Asking those smart questions!
The Linux command line is provided by a program called the shell. The most commonly used shell is the Bourne-Again Shell (aka Bash… how clever)!
A script is a series of commands that the Bash program reads and executes line-by-line.
What do you get when you combine them? Bash Scripting!
Bash Scripting is an important part of process automation in Linux (and all operating systems). Scripting helps you write a sequence of commands in a file and then execute them.
This saves you time because you don’t have to write certain commands again and again. You can perform daily tasks efficiently and even schedule them for automatic execution.
How sweet is that?
And as with any programming language, Bash Scripting has rules to create programs understandable by the computer. Once you learn those rules, you’ll be able to wield the power of Linux Shell Scripting.
If you want to learn Shell Scripting, Bash is the best place to start.
It’s also one of the most in-demand skills for Systems Administrators, DevOps Engineers, Network Engineers, and any other job that requires Linux.
Command line skills are also hot in cloud technologies these days, as cloud services are often connected to, and operated through, a command line interface.
You know what that means: great job prospects!
