Technology explained

What is Bash?

Bash is a Unix shell and scripting language used to run commands, compose pipelines and automate operating-system tasks. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.

It expands variables and filenames, redirects streams, controls processes and combines small command-line programs. Bash is powerful for orchestration and glue logic, but quoting, error propagation and portability require deliberate handling in production scripts.
