Shell scripting

Shell scripting is a way to automate tasks in computer systems using a script, which is a text file containing a series of commands for the operating system's shell (the interface users interact with). These scripts can perform various functions, such as managing files, executing programs, or processing data, all without manual input. Shell scripting is commonly used in environments like Unix and Linux to increase efficiency and consistency in system administration or software development tasks, allowing users to run complex sequences of operations with a single command.
