An open-source handbook that teaches Bash shell scripting fundamentals without going too deep, readable on GitHub or installable via npm to view in a terminal pager. It covers variables, expansions, arrays, streams, conditionals, loops, and functions, with multiple translations.

Use cases

  • learn bash scripting from scratch
  • quick reference for shell syntax
  • understand bash variables and expansions
  • learn bash loops and conditionals
  • read a bash guide in the terminal
  • brush up on shell scripting basics

When to choose

  • you want a concise, beginner-friendly introduction to Bash
  • you prefer reading documentation in your terminal via npm
  • you need a free, translated Bash reference

When to avoid

  • you need advanced or exhaustive Bash coverage
  • you want an interactive course rather than a written handbook
  • you need a formally maintained book with a software license
