- [Grant] Thank you for joining me in this course. In this course we learned enough bash scripting to get started in automating tasks. We learned how to create a shell script and how to make a script look and act like regular Linux commands. We talked about variable scope and how to use bash's debug mode to help find problems in our scripts. Next we talked about the different methods of getting data into our script including positional arguments, command options, parsing files, and even piping data to it. We also talked about how to get data out of our scripts. Most every script will have conditions and loops so we talked about the different conditionals and looping mechanisms in bash. Lastly we solved real world problems with bash. If you want to learn more about bash shell scripting you may want to search the course library for bash to take more courses covering this topic. Again my name is Grant McWilliams and thank you for watching.
