BASIC Authentication in Bash

To perform BASIC authentication in Bash, you can use the curl command with the -u option followed by the username and password separated by a colon. Here's an example:

curl -u username:password https://example.com/api

Replace username and password with the actual credentials you want to use. The -u option sends the credentials in the Authorization header using the BASIC authentication scheme.

Please note that storing passwords in plain text is generally not recommended for security reasons. It's better to use environment variables or other secure methods to store sensitive information.
