BASH Script: Date As Input

BASH Script
Lets start a very Basic, yet powerful Language Tutorial. The Bash Scripting. Basically it is acronym of "The Bourne Again Shell". Today, I am going to discuss some Basics by considering following scenario.



Let's assume that you need to do some task for range of dates or over a period of dates. So here there will be a Start Date & End Date. Also it would be great if you can give this range of dates to your script at the command line so no need to edit the script every time. when I said command line it means that one can give argument at the time of execution of the bash script.

Today, Lets discuss about the version control of software & how a source code version control system can help you to maintain your software flawlessly. There are many version control systems are present in the market right now but as per my opinion & experience "Git" is the best solution for version control. Git is a Free & Open Source, Distributed software version control system. It can handle a wide range of software products ranging from very small to extra large projects. The efficiency & speed you get with Git is the best. Also, Git ensures freedom to share your projects under the "GNU General Public License Version 2.0".
