Two fun things about Bash

TIL two fun things:

  1. Bash stands for “Bourne Again SHell”, the descendant of the Bourne Shell that was released in 1977. 😎

  2. Bash supports ‘regex’-like characters 🔥, eg:

  • ? matches single character
  • [abd] - matches a, b or d
  • [a-d] - matches a, b, c, or d

This is called globbing! ❇️
