How to write a basic shell script?

To write a basic shell script, start by defining the interpreter at the beginning of the script using a shebang line (#!/bin/bash). Then, declare variables and assign values as needed. Use comments to explain the purpose of your script and any key steps. Write the sequence of commands you want the shell script to execute, taking into consideration any conditional statements or loops that may be necessary. Finally, save the script with a .sh extension and make it executable using the chmod command. Test the script to ensure it functions as expected before implementing it in your workflow.
