The Linux Bash shell is more than just a tool for inputting commands; it's a powerful resource for automating the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Automation in the SDLC can drastically reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks, minimise errors, and enhance team dynamics and overall productivity. This blog explores the pivotal role Bash scripting can play in automating various phases of the SDLC including coding, building, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Bash, or Bourne Again SHell, is the default command language interpreter for most Linux distributions. It is extensively featured for programming with built-in functions that facilitate the execution of complex workflows. Bash scripts are easy to write, debug, and maintain.
