To write your first shell script, you will need to use a text editor to create a new file. You can use any text editor that you like, such as vi, nano, or gedit.

Here is an example of a simple shell script that displays the message “Hello, World!” on the screen:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Hello, World!"

To make the script executable, you will need to give it execute permissions using the chmod command:

chmod +x myscript.sh

You can then run the script by typing its name:

./myscript.sh

This will execute the commands in the script and display the message “Hello, World!” on the screen.

Here is a brief explanation of the lines in the script:

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
