This category is deprecated. The current category for Bash examples is Category:UNIX Shell.
The pages in this category have code examples under {{header|Bash}} instead of {{header|UNIX Shell}}. One should move or merge these examples to UNIX Shell, and mark them with {{works with|Bash}}.
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 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 x=(1 2 3) would also work with ksh93 and mksh.
(This page must not contain the {{language|...}} 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.)
