What is it?

A low-level scripting language for Linux (Bourne Again SHell), as an upgrade from the basic sh command.

Why did we choose it?

It's good, it works, and I remember it from university. Memories of ridiculously colourful Bash scripts in Vim are still in my head somewhere...

What do we use it for?

A few scripts for execution on the webservers, where we need to create a convenient command line approach to executing a given PHP file or performing some other task.
