To edit:
Use any editor you like:
gedit some_file.sh
nano some_file.sh
vim some_file.sh
# ...
To run:
Either make it executable and run it giving the path:
chmod +x some_file.sh
./some_file.sh
Or tell bash
to run it:
bash some_file.sh
2
Give it permission to run
chmod +x /path/to/yourscript.sh
And run your script:
/path/to/yourscript.sh

Make it executable using
chmod +x filename
and run it in terminal using
./filename
Or
You simply
bash filename

To open a bash file for editing (something with an .sh suffix) you can use a text editor like nano.
nano filename.sh
If you want to run a bash script you can do it in several ways.
./filename.sh
or
sh filename.sh
