Bash scripting is a convenient way to automate things on any Linux system, and we're going to use it here to automate certain tasks we use all the time.
Bash is a simple language for stringing together several different Linux utilities. Its simplicity makes it easy for beginners to create lots of scripts that would otherwise be pretty complicated or require some pretty hefty programming skills.
If you know the right Bash commands, you can do all sorts of things. In this guide, we'll use Bash to automate a few commonly used tasks. We'll also cover aliasing briefly, which will make things even more convenient. For instance, if we have something we want to do, we'll just use an alias command to call a Bash script and have it run whatever it's programmed to do so that we don't have to run and call the script manually every time from wherever it's saved.
