Bash scripting is like writing a recipe for your computer.

Imagine you have a series of tasks you want your computer to perform, like:

1. Open a folder
2. Copy a file
3. Rename it
4. Move it to another folder

Instead of doing these tasks manually, you can write a "script" that tells your computer to do them automatically.

Bash scripting is a way to write these instructions in a file, using a special language that your computer's operating system (like Linux or macOS) can understand.

The script is like a list of commands that the computer executes one by one, just like following a recipe.

Bash scripting is useful for:

• Automating repetitive tasks
• Saving time
• Increasing efficiency
• Simplifying complex tasks

It's called "Bash" scripting because it uses the Bash shell, a program that interprets the script and executes the commands.

Think of it like a macro in Excel or a batch file in Windows, but for Unix-based systems!
