# The Bash Hackers Wiki
|

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\<WRAP center round box 90%\> This wiki is intended to hold
|
||||||
|
documentation of any kind about GNU Bash. The main motivation was to
|
||||||
|
provide *human-readable documentation* and information so users aren't
|
||||||
|
forced to read every bit of the Bash manpage - which can be difficult to
|
||||||
|
understand. However, the docs here are **not** meant as a newbie
|
||||||
|
tutorial.

## Builtin Commands
|

|
|
||||||
|
This is a selection of builtin commands and command-like keywords,
|
||||||
|
loosely arranged by their common uses. These are provided directly by
|
||||||
|
the shell, rather than invoked as standalone external commands.
