    This document provides an overview of conditional statements and tests in Bash scripts. It describes the if/elif/else conditional statement for executing commands based on test expressions. It also covers the case statement for pattern matching. Various test expressions are listed for checking string/integer comparisons and file properties. Operators like && and || allow combining multiple test expressions, and commands like echo and read are referenced. Finally, it touches on single and double quotes and how they treat variable expansion.

    if <test-expression>; then
    <commands>
    elif <test-expression>; then
    <commands>
    else
    <commands>
    fi

    case $var in
    <pattern>) <commands>;;
    *) <commands>;;
    esac

    [ -n $var ] //True if the length of $var is greater than zero


    [ -z $var ] //True if $var is empty
    [ string1 (=|!=) string2 ]
    [ int1 -(eq|neq|gt|lt|ge|le) int2 ]
    [ -(d|f) FILE ] //-d: true if FILE exists and a directory, -f: true if FILE
    exists and a file (not a device)

    * &&, || may be used between multiple <test-expression>


    echo, read command
    single quote (') preserves literal value inside, (") does not preserve all things
    (for example variable will be expanded)
