shells
In computing, a shell is a program that provides an interface for users to interact with the operating system. It translates human commands into instructions that the system understands. Think of it as a translator or command center, allowing users to run programs, manage files, and perform tasks through text commands or scripts. Popular shells include Bash and PowerShell. They enable automation, customization, and efficient control over your computer's functions, acting as a bridge between you and the complex inner workings of the operating system.
