Shell Scripting Examples

Welcome to the Shell Scripting Examples repository! This space is dedicated to helping you learn and master the art of shell scripting, providing a variety of scripts ranging from basic to advanced levels.

Description

Shell scripting is a powerful tool for automating tasks in Unix-like operating systems. The scripts are written in a scripting language interpreted by a shell, which is a command-line interpreter. The most common shell is Bash (Bourne Again SHell), but there are others like Zsh, Sh, and Fish.
