The Linux terminal, a powerhouse for running commands and scripts efficiently, might not be the first place you look for graphical user interfaces (GUIs). However, using tools like dialog, you can create text-based, dialog-driven interfaces directly in your Bash scripts. This functionality is not only useful for enhancing scripts’ interactivity but also vital for simplifying complex processes for users who might not be as comfortable in a purely command-line environment. The dialog tool allows users to create a variety of text-user interface widgets, such as message boxes, yes/no dialogs, input boxes, menus, and more, right within the terminal.
