Should I learn Bash Scripting ?

Question

I know basics of Python. I can write some scripts . I like playing with Termux & run scripts. I found scripts written in mainly python or bash . My Question is that should i or is it useful to learn bash or python is enough !.

Answer 1

Bash can be very powerful and efficient but is not very practical in every scenario. For using Bash it's important to know the Linux command line. Especially for common text manipulation Bash should be better and faster (because most command line utilities are written in C). Also when working directly with the OS (files, network, configurations etc.) Bash really shines. For example
ls -R | grep .png
lists all png pictures in the current directory recursively and didn't even need to write a script for this. For other sorts of scripts (also ones that include a lot of logic) Python is probably better. You can however write your own Python scripts for small problems that you can later call from Bash, so you can profit from both languages :)
