Or any other alternate shells that aren’t bash?

    I used to use fish but I’m learning Unix right now and am trying to use only defaults so I can learn freebsd the way it exists on a dvd, so right now I’ve been using the Bourne shell

      If you are using FreeBSD, you are probably using the Almquist Shell.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almquist_shell

      BSD has not used Bourne since the 90’s. Bash is of course the “Bourne Again Shell”.

      For Linux fans, “dash” is the (Debian Almquist Shell). It is the Linux version of the BSD shell. Dash is the default /usr/bin/sh in Debian and Ubuntu I think. So, pretty close to the same shell as FreeBSD.
