This file format is text editable and is mainly used for the storage of data that will be executed by shell, an Operating System text interface. The SH file format comes in handy for the generation of shell script. Shell scripts are normally written for the command line interpreters or shell Operating Systems. Sometimes, shell scripts are considered to be simple programming language files.
