The shell is an interactive interface that allows users to execute other commands and utilities in Linux and other UNIX-based operating systems. When you login to the operating system, the standard shell is displayed and allows you to perform common operations such as copy files or restart the system.
Why shell is used in Linux?
Simply put, the shell is a program that takes commands from the keyboard and gives them to the operating system to perform. In the old days, it was the only user interface available on a Unix-like system such as Linux.
What is the purpose of a shell?
A shell manages the user–system interaction by prompting users for input, interpreting their input, and then handling an output from the underlying operating system (much like a read–eval–print loop, REPL).
