Original HN title had the word "Google" in it.
According to this document, Google requires Bash.
I do not use Bash. I use Almquist shell. I try to avoid using uncommon "features" or utilities.
I am not a frequent Linux user but whenever I have to use it, all of the hundreds of scripts I wrote using another OS and Almquist shell still work. They all work in Bash.
Over the years, I used this site as a reference:

- kevincox 8y agoThey require bash for scripts. You can use whatever shell you like on your machines.
- textmode 8y ago"They require Bash for scripts." I do not write scripts to run with Bash. I write them to run with an Almquist-derived shell, which also means I can run them with Bash and other shells without any problems. However a script written in Bash may not run correctly under Almquist shell and other shells.
