A ubiquitous shell. The default for almost all Linux distributions.
Random notes on this software.
-
On Windows, I use Git on Windows.
I would much rather use the same zsh environment on Windows and Linux. Having to figure out portability is annoying.
Note that you will find a lot of example and working code on GitHub:
- bash-windows
- bash-and-zsh
-
- .. since sh code usually works.

- It's the standard, but I bloody well hate how it works. It's so clumsy and GNU.

Bash has come with every distribution I have ever used.
