What is Conditionals?
Conditionals in shell scripting allow you to execute different blocks of code based on whether a certain condition is true or false. This enables your scripts to make decisions and respond dynamically to different situations, making them more versatile and powerful. Common conditional statements include if, elif (else if), and else, which are used to control the flow of execution based on the evaluation of expressions.
