This category is '''deprecated'''. The current category for Bash examples is [[:Category:UNIX Shell]].

The pages in this category have code examples under <nowiki>{{header|Bash}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{header|UNIX Shell}}</nowiki>. One should move or merge these examples to UNIX Shell, and mark them with <nowiki>{{works with|Bash}}</nowiki>.

There are a few reasons why Bash examples should be under UNIX Shell.

* Some examples already moved from Bash to UNIX Shell. See [[Category talk:Bash]] and [[Talk:Ethiopian multiplication]].
* Rosetta Code never correctly [[Rosetta Code:Add a Language|added Bash as a language]], because [[Bash]] is not a redirect to this category.
* Pages like [[Array concatenation]] had two redundant examples, where both examples for 'Bash' and 'UNIX Shell' demonstrated the same feature of Bash.
* Examples are almost never specific to Bash. For example, code that uses Bash array syntax like <tt>x=(1 2 3)</tt> would also work with [[ksh93]] and [[mksh]].

''(This page must not contain the <nowiki>{{language|...}}</nowiki> tag. If this page contained that tag, then Bash would appear in the first page of [[:Category:Programming Languages]] and more contributors would add examples to Bash instead of to UNIX Shell.)''
