Bash (short for "Bourne Again SHell") is an interactive command interpreter and command language developed for Unix-like operating systems. Created in 1989 by Brian Fox for the GNU Project, it is designed as a completely free software alternative for the Bourne shell, sh, and other proprietary Unix shells, supported by the Free Software Foundation. Having gained widespread adoption, Bash is commonly used as the default login shell for numerous Linux distributions. It also supports the execution of commands from files, known as shell scripts, facilitating automation.
