Assuming we want to run multiple bash commands via 



bash -c "command1 && command2 || command3"


Will the new shell inherit the environment of the bash -c command?






bash environment-variables

    Sorry, what is "the new shell" that you are referring to? The bash -c shell will inherit the environment of the calling shell, and the commands within will inherit the environment of the bash -c shell that they are started from.

Environment variables will be available to the new process. The private shell variables will not.
