Is this the bash dude?
- adrianmonk 6y agoYou mean the Bourne shell dude, and no, that is Stephen Bourne (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_R._Bourne https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_R._Bourne). bash and the Bourne shell aren't the same thing. More or less, this is the history: * in 1979, sh (Bourne SHell), created by Stephen Bourne, is released as part of AT&T Unix * in 1983, ksh (Korn SHell), created by David Korn, an enhanced version of sh, is released by AT&T * in 1989, bash (Bourne Again SHell), created by Brian Fox, is an open-source alternative released by the GNU project
