Shell Scripting

Software Development and Engineering Practices

Shell scripting is the skill of writing scripts using a Unix-like command-line shell (e.g., bash, sh, zsh) to automate tasks such as file processing, deployment, and system configuration. It's a core competency for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and software developers who need to automate repetitive operations or glue together other programs and tools. Proficiency includes knowledge of shell syntax, control flow, variables, and common command-line utilities like grep, sed, and awk.
