1 Introduction Bash Shell Linux Mac Os m1 Overview Slides PDF

This document introduces a course on the Bash shell for Linux and Mac OS. It will cover the core features and commands of Bash, as well as modules on basic file management, using Bash more effectively, filtering and processing text, jobs and processes, and customization. Bash is the dominant shell for UNIX-like systems and gives access to many UNIX utilities for efficiently running tasks and making them repeatable, with use cases including file management, data processing, system administration, remote access, and scripting. The course will focus on common features of Bash across UNIX variants like Linux, Mac OS, and BSD, though tools may differ between operating systems.

 What to expect from this course
 UNIX, Linux and Mac OS
 The UNIX philosophy
Why bash?

 Bash is a command line shell


 Gives you access to many UNIX utilities
 Efficiently run complex tasks
 And make them repeatable

 Some use cases


 File management
 Processing data
 System administration
 Remote access
 Scripting

 Dominant shell on UNIX


 Default on Mac OS and Linux
 Available on other UNIXes, Windows, Android, etc.
What to expect

 Core features and commands

 Modules:
 First Steps
 Basic File Management
 Using Bash More Effectively
 Filtering and Processing Text
 Jobs and Processes
 Customization

 Not in this course:


 System administration
 Scripting
UNIX, Linux, Mac OS

 UNIX
 Open Group: Single UNIX Specification
 IBM AIX, Solaris, HP/UX, Mac OS
 GNU/Linux
 Linux kernel, GNU tools
 Considered “UNIX-like”
 BSD:
 OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS
 BSD kernel, BSD Tools
 Bash is the default shell on Mac OS and Linux
 But tools and utilities differ
 Example: GNU cp vs BSD cp
 I will focus on common features

 When I mention UNIX:


 I mean all of these systems in general
The UNIX philosophy

 Write programs that do one thing and do it well


 Write programs to work together.
 Write programs to handle text streams
 because that is a universal interface.
