This is the video version, if you prefer it:
There are things I never used in shell scripting, such as sed
, awk
, basename
etc. Since shell scripts are composed mostly of commands, the commands I never used on the command line I have never used in shell scripts as well.
I covered everything I deemed important for shell scripting, but if you encounter something you don’t understand, feel free to use Google or reference (Shotts, 2019). Although a caveat: (Shotts, 2019) seems to take the stance of “show a whole lot of features of shell scripting” where I am more biased towards “learn only the essentials of shell scripting and use other programming languages for activities other than file manipulation”. Just a difference to keep in mind.
Thank you for reading!
