Get started freeFrequently Asked Questions
What Bash version does this compiler support?
This Bash compiler runs Bash 5.x with modern shell features. Write shell scripts using contemporary Bash syntax, arrays, associative arrays, and updated command support.
Can I run Linux commands and utilities?
Basic Bash built-ins are supported: echo, test, conditionals, loops, and variable operations. External commands have limitations in this sandboxed environment. Focus on shell scripting logic and Bash syntax.
Is this good for DevOps and automation learning?
Excellent for learning shell scripting fundamentals! Practice automation patterns, test conditionals and loops, and master Bash syntax before writing production deployment scripts. Perfect for DevOps skill development.
Can I test shell pipelines and redirections?
Yes! Practice command piping, output redirection, and process substitution syntax. While some external utilities are limited, you can test and learn pipeline patterns fundamental to shell scripting.
How do I debug Bash scripts?
Use echo statements to print variable values and trace script execution. The console shows stdout and stderr output. Test conditionals and loops with echo debugging to verify logic flow.
What Bash features can I practice?
All core Bash features: variables, arrays, conditionals (if/then/elif/else), loops (for/while/until), functions, string manipulation, pattern matching, arithmetic expansion, and command substitution.
Is this suitable for shell scripting interviews?
Perfect for interview prep! Test shell scripting problems, practice Bash syntax, and demonstrate command-line proficiency. Share Bash solutions via URL for interview discussions or portfolio examples.
What's the timeout for Bash scripts?
Bash scripts run for up to 30 seconds before automatic termination. Most shell scripts execute quickly. Timeout prevents infinite loops while providing time for complex automation logic testing.
