Completed

In this module, you learned the basics of using Bash. Among other things, you:

• Learned what a shell is and what Bash is
• Learned how Bash commands are structured
• Learned key Bash commands, such as ls, cat, and ps
• Learned how to use I/O operators in Bash commands to redirect input and output
• Learned how to find and terminate rogue processes
• Learned how to use Bash to filter output from another CLI tool

There's more you can do with Bash. We've gotten comfortable using Bash as a way to interact with our shell, but you can use the commands you learned (and many more) to use Bash for full-fledged programming. Check out these resources for taking your Bash knowledge to the next level:
