Intro
The Bourne Again Shell (BASH) is one of the available shells for use on Linux operating systems. Bash is quite popular and very practical for automating repetitive and daunting tasks, especially in the realm of software development and deployment.
Bash is present on most (if not all) Linux distributions and is highly useful for automating system administration tasks, DevOps-related tasks (like writing CI/CD pipelines), software development, etc.
Hence, as a software developer, Cloud Engineer, DevOps Engineer, System administrator, Cybersecurity Engineer, or just a Linux User, bash scripting is definitely a skill you would like to add to your toolbox.
On Windows, Git Bash offers a nice alternative to run bash scripts (although limited)
Content
This tutorial is a beginner guide and tries to assume no prior knowledge of bash or Linux, but it would definitely be helpful to have prior experience with Linux. This tutorial is part of a series and tries to slowly cover key topics of Bash.
Note
If the tutorial happens to be too slow, feel free to speed it up to suit a comfortable pace for you.
