What does the syntax in linux "using bash" look like?

@WrCombs In regards to adding users on Linux..not adding Windows users.

even the net user command looks cleaner:
"net localgroup administrators username /add"
But yep, powershell is the future and that is now defunct....

the only bonus, you do get tab completion is powershell...mainly because you need it for the long ass commands lol

So definitely "using Bash" needs quotes, it's "in standard UNIX" and Bash just calls it. It's really Windows vs. Linux here rather than PowerShell vs Bash. But the "official" Windows way is this PS CmdLet mess. The standard Linux way looks like this...
useradd sallyThen to add a password all at once is more complex. net user is the winner of simplicity.
Here is how you do a single line add with useradd in Linux...
useradd -p $(echo mysecret | openssl passwd -1 -stdin) sally -
