Bash scripting for beginners

The command line is a quick and powerful text-based interface to Linux computers that allows us to accomplish a wide set of tasks very efficiently. In this workshop, we will focus on writing and running scripts and functions in Bash. Scripts are great for simplifying and automating your workflows on any computer with Bash installed, whether it is your own laptop or a remote HPC cluster (where the command line is often the only available interface). You don’t need to know Bash to attend this workshop, as we will start from the basics and will slowly build up our skills using many hands-on examples.
