Looking for recommendations on a good ** beginners ** bash tutorial [closed]

Answer 1

The Advanced Bash Scripting Guide is a classic and comprehensive Bash reference/tutorial.

Answer 2

Kernighan and Pike's The Unix Programming Environment will show you how experts use the Unix command line. They write several small tools throughout the book, many of which are shell scripts. It doesn't focus on bash (bash didn't exist at the time!), but rather the standard bourne shell (sh). You can learn bash's non-portable extensions after you're comfortable with the basics.

Answer 3

This Bash Guide was quite clear, progressive and comprehensive for me. It has the advantage to teach you about good practices as well, especially by showing what is good practice and what is not. On top of this, you can always ask questions and get help on the IRC channel, which is, in my opinion a great plus when learning.

Answer 4

Two ressources i would recommend:

1. The book "Learning the bash Shell" from Cameron Newham and Bill Rosenblatt.
2. The advanced bash scripting guide.
3. The man page (although it might be a bit hard)
