✍ Welcome to Shell-Scripting 💻🐧🐧

🔶 Shell scripting is writing a series of command lines in a file to be executed by the shell, automating tasks that could be done manually in the terminal. It combines commands, logic, and functions to automate complex tasks efficiently.

🔶 What is Shell?
A shell is a command-line interpreter that provides a user interface for the Unix-like operating systems. It allows users to execute commands, run programs, and manage system resources. Shells can be interactive (executing commands as entered) or non-interactive (executing commands from a script)

📚 Types of Shells
➡️ Bourne Shell (sh) : The original Unix shell.
➡️ Bash Shell (bash) : An enhanced version of the Bourne Shell, widely used due to its advanced features.
➡️ Korn Shell (ksh) : A shell developed by David Korn, combining features of both the Bourne and C shells.
➡️ C Shell (csh) : Known for its C-like syntax.
➡️ Z Shell (zsh) : An extended Bourne shell with many improvements and features.
