The following topics are covered in this repository:
| Day | Topic |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Introduction to Shell Scripting |
| Day 2 | Variables in Shell Scripting |
| Day 3 | Arrays in Shell Scripting |
| Day 4 | String Manipulation in Shell Scripting |
| Day 5 | User Interaction & Input |
| Day 6 | Operators in Shell Scripting |
| Day 7 | Conditional Statements |
| Day 8 | Loops in Shell Scripting |
| Day 9 | Functions |
This shell scripting guide has covered fundamental to intermediate topics in Bash programming. Through nine modules, we've explored the essential elements needed to create efficient, practical shell scripts:
- Starting with basic script structure and syntax
- Working with variables, arrays, and strings
- Handling user input and interactions
- Implementing logical operations with operators
- Creating conditional logic with if/else statements
- Building efficient loops for repeated tasks
- Organizing code with functions for reusability
These skills provide a solid foundation for shell script development in various professional contexts, from system administration and DevOps to data processing and automation.
