Bash Syntax

This lesson is part of Bash · All levels

Summary

The Bash syntax has a simple rule: one command per line, end with Enter, and the # is used for comments. You can combine the command with;, &&, or ▽, and then break the long line with the continuous. Bash is also case-sensitive, so echo and echo are different.

Key points

One line one command, # start comment
&& running next only if the previous success
Run the next one only if the previous one failed
The backslash marks at the end of the line continue the command
