In this lesson, we will learn about bash and its basic commands, with a focus on the following key points:
- Getting an introduction to bash and its commands.
- Understanding how to perform operations using the command line.
Computers provide two kinds of interfaces to the user:
- Graphical User Interface (GUI), and
- text-based interfaces (through command line or terminal)
These interfaces allow you to navigate through the operating system and file system. In text-based interfaces, a command line interpreter or shell is used to interpret the given commands by the user. This tutorial focuses on one such popular shell known as bash. It is the default shell of most Linux distributions and Apple's macOS.
