Bash is a ComputerCraft program where you can execute files that run ComputerCraft programs.
The programs you run have no valid Lua code in them.
An example file that you would create would be

# | To comment a line so that Bash doesn't interpret it,
# | put a pound/hashtag in the front of the line
# | like so!
#lists directory
ls
#deletes file "Hacks"
rm Hacks
#very fun stuff.

To download bash to your ComputerCraft computer, do

pastebin get kgixrLic bash

or go to pastebin.com/kgixrLic

I personally want use this, but it will surely help out a lot of newbies.

You should add some other commands like print or some basic variables

The current interpreter simply runs commands with shell.run, you could always edit a file called "var" or "print" to do those things.

I can edit the interpreter to have more advanced capabilities.
Will do!
Update 0.2:
+ Added different ways to comment( two dashes, one hashtag, and two slashes(//))
+ Added print command, don't edit the cmds table, it is a WIP.
+ To use print, do this

#Prints "Hello! This is a test with the print command!" to the console.
print Hello! This is a test with the print command!

Download from the pastebin in the OP!

why not

elseif cmds[cmd] then
  _ = table.remove(linesplit, 1)
  cmds[cmd](unpack(linesplit))

so if the command is found in the cmds table then it executes that function with the parameters given after the command

I've had that idea, and it bugged out to the point that if you used the wrong syntax it would break. The errorCheck function at that point failed me.

all the arguments given to the command are just supplied as arguments to the function, it should work fine. if you want to check if one argument doesn't exist just check if it's nil
