A shell does much more than simply run commands. It also provides powerful features to make this task easier. Examples are wildcards for matching filenames, redirection of command output and input to and from files, pipes for making the output of one command become the input of another, aliases to run common commands quickly, variables for storing values for use by the shell, and more. We’re just scratching the surface to introduce you to a set of useful tools. Run info bash for full documentation.
