How to Open Bash Files with Terminal? [Duplicate]

Question

I am new to Ubuntu and I just started learning bash.
How can I open bash files through terminal?

Accepted Answer

Use any editor you like:

gedit some_file.sh
nano  some_file.sh
vim   some_file.sh
# ...

Either make it executable and run it giving the path:

chmod +x some_file.sh
./some_file.sh

Or tell bash to run it:

bash some_file.sh

Answer 2

Give it permission to run

chmod +x /path/to/yourscript.sh

And run your script:

/path/to/yourscript.sh

Answer 3

Make it executable using

chmod +x filename

and run it in terminal using

./filename

Or

You simply

bash filename

Answer 4

To open a bash file for editing (something with an .sh suffix) you can use a text editor like nano.

nano filename.sh

If you want to run a bash script you can do it in several ways.

./filename.sh

or

sh filename.sh
