Summary

Back to: Linux command line and the Shell free course beginner to expert by ProGuide365.

In this module, you learned the basics of using Bash. Among other things, you:

• Learned what a shell is and what Bash is.
• Learned how Bash commands are structured.
• Learned key Bash commands, such as ls, cat, and ps.
• Learned how to use I/O operators in Bash commands to redirect input and output.
• Learned how to find and terminate rogue processes.
• Learned how to use Bash to filter output from another CLI tool.

There is much more you can do with Bash. We’ve gotten comfortable using Bash as a way to interact with our shell, but you can use the commands you’ve learned (and many more) to use Bash for full-fledged programming. Check out these resources for taking your Bash knowledge to the next level:
