Bash, which stands for Bourne Again Shell, is a command-line interpreter (CLI) for various Unix-like operating systems, including Linux and macOS. It allows users to interact with the operating system by entering commands in text format. These commands are then interpreted and executed by the Bash shell, enabling users to perform various tasks such as:
- File and directory management: Creating, deleting, renaming, copying, and moving files and directories.
- Executing programs: Launching applications and scripts.
- Automating tasks: Scripting commands together to automate repetitive tasks.
- System administration: Managing system resources, users, and permissions (for users with administrative privileges).
- Information retrieval: Viewing system information, checking file contents, and searching for specific files or data.
