Bash Scripting Intro

Description

Bash scripting turns repeated terminal tasks into small programs, and this mini-course teaches it from the ground up. It begins with getting started, then covers variables and data types, input and output, and conditional statements, each with short examples in the text.

Further lessons deal with loops, functions, debugging and error handling, and file operations. They are followed by practical scripting projects and a closing lesson that combines the earlier skills. Eight of the ten lessons include exercises, which you complete in your own terminal while reading. No earlier scripting experience is assumed.

Who it is for: beginners who want to automate repetitive terminal tasks with Bash scripts.
