Bash is the GNU Project's shell (the Bourne Again SHell), an sh-compatible command language that incorporates features from the Korn shell and C shell and aims to conform to POSIX standards. It offers improvements for both programming and interactive use, including command-line editing, unlimited size command history, job control, shell functions and aliases, unlimited-sized arrays, and arithmetic in any base, with most sh scripts runnable without modification. It is free software released under the GNU General Public License (version 3 or later), with stable releases downloadable from GNU mirrors and thorough documentation, maintained by Chet Ramey and supported via mailing lists.
