Still wondering what's the difference between a terminal and a shell...

A terminal is the interface that displays and manages text input/output, while a shell is the command-line interpreter that executes commands.

You use the terminal to interact with the shell, although the terms are often used interchangably.

Bash is short for Bourne Again Shell - a pun and homage to Stephen Bourne who created the Bourne Shell, an earlier Unix shell

Key Differences
Function: The terminal is a tool to interact with the shell, while the shell is the program that interprets and executes commands.
Role: The terminal provides the interface; the shell provides the command processing and execution.

dear Microsoft Developer channel manager if you release tons of videos in one shot consider that you overflood the subcription page causing a strong want to unsubscribe the channel. You should schedule releases in a consistent way to let viewers realize what has been released and what to watch.
