A UNIX style shell created in 1987 by Brian Fox while he was working for the the Free Software Foundation, it was originally named Bourne-Again Shell (bash) since is was meant to be a replacement for the Bourne shell. Early versions of the Bash shell were extremely buggy and had a severely limited functionality, it is not until the mid 90's that the shell starts to become something that could replace Bourne, but that was well after Chet Ramey took over the role of developing the tool.
