You can use

echo 'text "hey"'

or

echo "text \"hey\""

In short:

  • The double quote ( "quote" ) protects everything enclosed between two double quote marks except $, ', " and \. Use the double quotes when you want only variables and command substitution

    • Variable - Yes
    • Wildcards - No
    • Command substitution - yes

  • The single quote ( 'quote' ) protects everything enclosed between two single quote marks. It is used to turn off the special meaning of all characters.

    • Variable - No
    • Wildcards - No
    • Command substitution - No
