The SH file extension is used in Unix-like systems for a .sh Bash Shell Script. Bash stands for Bourne Again Shell and is a type of interpretation language that enables users to run commands through the use of scripts. It is widely used in UNIX, Linux, and macOS for writing shell scripts and command lines. It is also available as a free software, on Windows 10, though the original Windows Shell is still its primary product.
Technical Details
Bash Shell Scripts are text files that contain commands which can be executed by the Bash shell. The file extension.sh indicates the file can be executed from the command line. The syntax used for Bash scripts draws influence from a number of different languages including C and KornShell (ksh es). Bash scripts can include variables, functions, loops, and conditionals just like other programming language such as C and python.
Similar file extensions to SH include .bat, .cmd, .shm, and .bsh. The.bat extension was used in MS-DOS and Windows operating systems,.cmd is used to store instructions to be invoked at the command line level in Windows systems, while.shm is the Stanford Performance Library Shared Memory File, and.bsh is the BeanShell Script File.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SH) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SH extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SH file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SH extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SH extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SH file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SH file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SH file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SH file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SH file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
