Bash ( /bin/bash ) is the command interpreter on GNU/Linux systems, built as a free alternative to Bourne shell ( /bin/sh ), the command interpreter on Unix. These days, Bash and Shell are synonymous terms and thus shell scripting and bash scripting are the same thing, although Shell and Bash themselves do differ and so a script built to run in Bash might not necessarily also run in Shell without some alterations.
In a nutshell, Bash and Shell scripts are files which can be executed to run operating system level commands, such as file copy operations, or to fire up other command-line software such as FFmpeg for video manipulation or ImageMagick for image manipulation.
We occasionally post helpful Bash scripts for GNU/Linux server administrators, or for performing tasks much quicker than in higher level languages.
