What's the difference between Shell and Terminal?
| term | example | key takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| Shell: The command interpreter that processes your commands and talks to the OS. |
|
The shell is the "engine" that executes commands. |
| Terminal: The interface that displays text input/output (originally hardware, now mostly software emulators). |
|
The terminal is the "window" that renders text. |
