Shell

  • Bash - the gold standard in shell scripting - see bash.md
  • Bourne - the original unix shell - Bash is the Bourne Again Shell - next generation Bourne shell
  • Ksh - Korn shell - another old unix shell
  • Tcsh - BSD shell - just use Bash
  • Zsh - slightly more feature rich shell than Bash. Not sure it's worth the hassle aside from ** directory recursion globbing
  • Fish - friendly interactive shell - meaning user friendly
