What are some good bash tutorials? I would like to learn more about the bash shells commands and how to use them.

Advanced Bash Scripting Guide from The Linux Documentation Project pages.
(Also available as a PDF file if you prefer that).

General search tags:

Empty at this time... :-)

But, don't go by that.

  • I don't know exactly why, but I think that the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide is very unfriendly. I never found an answer in that guide. Greg's wiki, and especially the FAQ, as mentioned by spatz, are great for beginners. – mrucci Apr 30 '10 at 18:33
  • @mrucci, On the contrary, I can remember a large number of times looking up things directly in the guide with Google searches. Meanwhile, Greg's Wiki links referred by `spatz` are good too. – nik May 01 '10 at 02:46
  • Yes, the problem is that every time I search google for "bash [something]" I found and follow the ABSG link but very rarely I found an answer in the cryptict, badly organized and presented material. – mrucci May 01 '10 at 07:08
  • Well, there is at least one person finding TLDP ABS Guide less useful -- So, I'm up-voting `spatz's` answer too... – nik May 01 '10 at 08:24

I find Greg's Bash Guide and Bash FAQ very helpful, even for beginners.

Also, I remember learning bash from Daniel Robbins' series, Bash by example, which is a very good read in my opinion.
