A new version of this guide is currently being drafted. For now, this guide is still the most complete and best reviewed. Any contributions to the new guide are welcome via GitHub forks.
This guide aims to aid people interested in learning to work with BASH. It aspires to teach good practice techniques for using BASH, and writing simple scripts.
This guide is targeted at beginning users. It assumes no advanced knowledge -- just the ability to login to a Unix-like system and open a command-line (terminal) interface. It will help if you know how to use a text editor; we will not be covering editors, nor do we endorse any particular editor choice. Familiarity with the fundamental Unix tool set, or with other programming languages or programming concepts, is not required, but those who have such knowledge may understand some of the examples more quickly.
If something is unclear to you, you are invited to report this (use http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuideFeedback, or the #bash channel on irc.freenode.org) so that it may be clarified in this document for future readers.
You are invited to contribute to the development of this document by extending it or correcting invalid or incomplete information.
