"Bash scripts are a great way to automate all sorts of repetitive tasks -- you can run backups, clear temporary files/logs, rename or batch-rename files, install or update software, and much more. Although writing such scripts isn't nearly as hard as you might think, it does take some time to learn the ins and outs of bash scripting. Also: 6 hidden Android features that are seriously useful (and how they made my life easier) Good news: If you have an Android device, you can enable the Linux terminal, which means you can create or practice your bash scripting on the go."

Enabling Linux support on an Android device provides a full Linux terminal and the ability to write and run bash scripts directly on the device. Bash scripts automate repetitive tasks such as backups, clearing temporary files and logs, batch-renaming files, and installing or updating software. The Linux environment uses standard apt commands to update and upgrade packages and to install editors like nano. A simple script can be created with nano hello.sh, beginning with the shebang line #!/bin/bash (without spaces) and containing commands that print output such as Hello, ZDNET. Practicing bash scripting on Android supports learning and on-the-go automation.
