Bash is a Unix command shell written for the GNU project. Its name is an acronym for Bourne-again shell —a pun (Bourne again / born again) on the Bourne shell (sh), which was an early, important Unix shell. The Bourne shell was the shell distributed with Version 7 Unix, circa 1978. The original Bourne shell was written by Stephen Bourne, then a researcher at Bell Labs.
