About this course

Any command you can run in your terminal can be run using Bash scripting. When you have a command or set of commands that you will be using frequently, you can write a script in Bash to perform it. This course will guide you through writing your own scripts to automate a number of processes, and how to write aliases to make calling those scripts easier.

  • The progress I have made since starting to use codecademy is immense! I can study for short periods or long periods at my own convenience - mostly late in the evenings.
