UdemyBash scripting automates repetitive work and solves real problems on Linux, Mac, and Unix systems. This course teaches the fundamentals through hands-on practice: how to accept user input, process command-line arguments, use special variables, and make decisions based on conditions.
You'll follow a clear structure: best practices to apply every time, a reusable script template, a creation checklist, and real-world scripts from the instructor's collection. The crash-course section gives you the essentials fast if you're eager to start immediately. Quizzes reinforce learning, and practice exercises let you apply concepts right away.
The material works across shells — bash, ksh, zsh, and others — and across Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian) plus Mac and BSD systems. It's practical, focused on solving actual problems, and designed for someone starting from scratch or solidifying existing knowledge.

If you want to learn how to write bash shell scripts like a pro, solve real-world problems, or automate repetitive and complex tasks, read on.
Hello. My name is Jason Cannon and I'm the author of Linux for Beginners, Python Programming for Beginners, and the founder of the Linux Training Academy. I started my IT career in the late 1990's as a Unix and Linux System Engineer and I'll be sharing my real-world bash scripting and shell programming experience with you throughout this course.
By the end of this course you will be able to create bash scripts with ease. You'll learn how to take tedious and repetitious tasks and turn them into programs that will save you time and simplify your life on Linux, Unix, or MAC systems.
