chmod u+x shellProgramming
To make it executable./shellProgramming
To run it. If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.

Hey there,
You can also place it in a directory in your PATH, after you make it executable, so you can run it from anywhere.
I dont' recommend adding a dot to your PATH, but just do
echo $PATH
and copy your script into one of those directories and you can just run it by calling its name wherever you are on the filesystem
