this question may be a bit terminological.
As a new Linux learner, I find many tutorials mention Linux/bash commands. To my understanding, commands are just various programs and bash is a shell like zsh, fish etc. on Linux. Shell will interpret user input and call corresponding program.
So Linux commands are sth. like cd
, mkdir
, while bash commands are somewhat specific to the shell syntax. For example, if someone would like, he/she could build a shell requiring run cd
instead of cd
just doing the same thing.
Is my understanding precise?
PS: I think I can understand the concept of terminal/shell/command line, which have stated in many other questions, and I believe this question is different from those.
