+# Bash User Input
+
+With the previous script, we defined a variable, and we output the value of the variable on the screen with the `echo $name`.
+
+Now let's go ahead and ask the user for input instead. To do that again, open the file with your favorite text editor and update the script as follows:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+echo "What is your name?"
+read name
+
+echo "Hi there $name"
+echo "Welcome to DevDojo!"
+```
+
+The above will prompt the user for input and then store that input as a string/text in a variable. 
+
+We can then use the variable and print a message back to them.
+
+The output of the above script would be:
+
+* First run the script:
+
+```bash
+./devdojo.sh
+```
+
+* Then, you would be prompted to enter your name:
+
+```
+What is your name?
+Bobby
+```
+
+* Once you've typed your name, just hit enter, and you will get the following output:
+
+```
+Hi there Bobby
+Welcome to DevDojo!
+```
+
+To reduce the code, we could change the first `echo` statement with the `read -p`, the `read` command used with `-p` flag will print a message before prompting the user for their input:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+read -p "What is your name? " name
+
+echo "Hi there $name"
+echo "Welcome to DevDojo!"
+```
+
+Make sure to test this out yourself as well!
