==Definition of Bashplaining== '''Bashplaining''' is a term used to describe the act of explaining shell scripting or command-line usage in an overly simplistic or condescending manner, often assuming the recipient lacks basic knowledge or experience with the subject. The term is a portmanteau of "bash," referring to the Bourne Again SHell, a popular Unix shell, and "explaining." It reflects a tendency to dismiss the recipient's understanding or to provide unnecessary explanations instead of engaging in a more nuanced or collaborative conversation. ===Usage=== Bashplaining is often criticized in tech communities, where peers are expected to share knowledge respectfully and effectively, considering the varying levels of expertise among individuals.
