Bash (Bourne Again Shell) is a widely used command-line interpreter and scripting language for Unix and Linux systems, serving as the default shell on many distributions and macOS (historically) systems. It lets users navigate file systems, run programs, and chain commands together using pipes and redirection. Software engineers, system administrators, and IT professionals rely on Bash daily for command-line productivity and automation.
