Bash Description

Bash is a Unix shell and command-language that can be downloaded for free. It is the default login shell for most Linux distributions. Bash is available on Linux systems as well as Windows via the Windows Subsystem to Linux. Bash is the default user Shell in Solaris 11. It was also the default shell for Apple macOS from 10.3 to macOS Catalina. This changed the default shell to ZSH. Bash is still available on macOS systems as an alternative shell, despite this change.

Bash is a command processor that allows users to enter commands into a text window and have them executed by the system. Bash can also read from and execute commands from a file. This is called a shell script. It supports many features that are common in Unix shells such as wildcard matching, piping and here documents, command substitution and variables, and control structures to condition testing and iteration. Bash conforms to the POSIX shell specifications.
