Is there a subshell created when I run `sh -c “command”`, a new shell or none of these?

Question

In bash, when I run the following command:

sh -c \"command\"

is there created a subshell and then the command

Answer 1

Check this:

$ name=foo
$ echo $name
foo
$ sh -c "echo $name"
foo
$ sh -c 'echo $name'

$ 

You need ' in stead of " in your command. Else $name will get evaluated to foo before execution

And to answer your question, yes, it does create/spawn a new shell.
