Shell Scripting is a method of automating tasks in a computer's operating system using a series of commands written in a script file. It is typically used in Unix-based systems (like Linux and macOS) but can also be used in Windows with tools like PowerShell or Git Bash. Shell scripts can automate repetitive tasks, such as file management, system monitoring, and software installation. They are written in scripting languages like Bash (Bourne Again Shell), Zsh, or PowerShell. By executing these scripts, users can perform complex sequences of operations without manually typing each command. Shell scripting is a powerful tool for system administrators, developers, and anyone working with command-line interfaces.
