SH files exist as 2 different types. Please find information about each of them below.
Type 1: Bash Shell Script

To make a bash script executable, it needs a shebang line at the top: #!/bin/bash. Use the chmod +x command so the system recognizes it as an executable file. It then needs installation in one of the $PATH directories. If the script is called foo, you can execute it by typing foo. Or if it’s in the current directory, type ./foo.
You should not use an extension for executables, as they are not interchangeable. The whole file-name extension thing in Microsoft’s Windows is a mess: a.audio, b.audio, c.audio could have been a.mp3, b.wav, c.ogg, and d.picture, e.picture, f.picture is d.jpeg, e.png, f.gif.
A file with .sh extension contains Unix shell commands to carry out operations like file processing and program execution. These are executed from the command line interface by user or in batch to perform multiple operations simultaneously. Script files can be opened in text editors and support comments starting with # that are ignored by the shell.
One way to recognize a Bash script is to look for #!/bin/bash in the first line. Most Bash SH files include this to tell the shell the script should be executed using the Bash interpreter. To execute the script, open Bash, navigate to the directory with your file, and enter bash YourFileName.sh.
Some other Unix shells, such as Bourne, C shell, and Korn, also use scripts saved as SH files. One way to recognize a Bash script is to look for the string #!/bin/bash in the script's first line. How ...
Some other Unix shells, such as Bourne, C shell, and Korn, also use scripts saved as SH files. One way to recognize a Bash script is to look for the string #!/bin/bash in the script’s first line. How to open an SH file? You can open an SH file and view or edit the script it contains in Microsoft Notepad (Windows), Apple TextEdit (Mac), Vim (Linux), or any other text editor. To execute the script an SH file contains, open the Bash shell, navigate to the directory that contains your file, and enter bash YourFileName.sh.
The sh file extension is related to the Unix and Linux based operating systems available for various platforms. The sh file stores self-extracting “shar” archive with shell script and archived files. Help how to open: Use ZipZag to open *.sh archives.
We have also the free online .SH (Unix Shell Archive) file extension apps that can allow to view, edit, convert from to SH, merge, split and compare the SH files without installing anything on your system.
An SH file is a script programmed for bash, a Unix shell (Bourne-Again SHell). It contains instructions written in the Bash language and can be executed by typing text commands within the shell’s command-line interface. Bash is a command language and Unix shell that replaces the Bourne shell. SH files can be opened using any text editor.
A file with .sh extension is a scripting language commands file that contains computer program to be run by Unix shell. It can contain a series of commands that run sequentially to carry out operations such as files processing and execution of programs. These are executed from the command line interface by user or in batch to carry out multiple operations at the same time.
