↺ What Does "Bash" Mean in Linux? - The Tech Edvocate


> If you are a Linux user, you may have heard of “bash” and wondered what it actually means. The term “bash” is an acronym for “Bourne-Again SHell,” which refers to a command-line interface shell program that allows users to interact with the operating system.

> But this means I need to make final decisions on the book’s technology stack.
