Shell process

A shell process is a program that acts as an intermediary between you and the computer's operating system. It interprets commands you type, such as opening files or running programs, and translates them into instructions the system understands. Think of it as a user-friendly interface that allows you to communicate with the computer’s core functions without needing to understand complex technical details. The shell manages these commands, executes them, and displays the results, making it easier to control and work with the computer system efficiently.
