A Unix shell is a command-line interpreter that provides a user interface for accessing operating system services, allowing users to run programs, manage files, and write automation scripts. Common shells include Bash, Zsh, and the original Bourne shell (sh), each offering scripting capabilities with variables, loops, and conditionals. Shell scripting is a core skill for systems administrators and backend developers automating repetitive tasks.
