Conditionals

Shell conditionals allow scripts to make decisions based on conditions using if, elif, and else statements. These control process flow by evaluating string variables, arithmetic tests, or process status. Conditions are checked sequentially - if true, the corresponding code block executes; otherwise, it moves to the next condition until finding a match or reaching else.
