Linux & Bash Automation Portfolio

This repository contains my hands-on Linux system administration and Bash scripting lab work.
It focuses on building strong foundations in Linux command line usage, shell scripting, automation, and system management.

This is a continuously growing learning repository and serves as a practical portfolio.

🎯 Purpose of This Repository

• Practice real-world Linux administration tasks
• Build strong Bash scripting skills
• Understand system behavior and automation
• Maintain a structured Linux portfolio

All labs are designed for learning, experimentation, and practical understanding.

🧪 Lab Environment

• OS: Linux (Al Nafi Cloud lab environment)
• Shell: Bash
• Execution: Remote cloud machines provided by Al Nafi International College
• Focus: Safe, reproducible learning labs

📂 Repository Structure

Each folder focuses on a specific Linux concept:

• bash – Basic commands, file handling, script examples
• shell_scripts – Introductory automation scripts
• conditionally-execute-shell-scripts – If/else logic
• loops – For, while, until loops
