Bunch of random script ideas. Some I don't see the point of for me, some are neat and seem useful.
Interesting use of make to manage your dotfiles. I have a tiny Python script for that, but this looks even more portable.
This is a nice trick for keeping your secrets safe while having them handy when needed.
Neat little introduction to use your shell properly.
This is really a neat trick. We should have more such self-documenting scripts indeed.
Nice way to improve the set -e output. I guess I'll use it in my next scripts.
You like weird bugs involving shell implementations, syscalls and filesystems? Somehow I do, this was an interesting one.
Didn't know bash got this feature now. I'm torn between "it looks so cool" and "we'll never see the end of debugging issues which use this".
Interesting thinking and trick. We clearly pile up too much noise in our shell history.
Writing shell scripts is still a craft. Interesting traps are presented here. Also, now better have shellcheck around for any non trivial script.
Good list of the undocumented rules terminal programs tend to follow. It's nice to have this kind of consistency even though a bit by accident.
Shell scripts deserve to be well designed like this indeed.
This is too often underestimated. This article shows nice uses of job control.
This is indeed an easy mistake to do. It's better be avoided.
A few interesting tips to improve history management with ZSH.
Keep things as simple as possible, they might turn out to be robust too.
Turns out to be an interesting discussion about modularity. It's probably a good approach even for a one liner in a script.
Indeed, use zsh more. It's good... or at least better.
This can come in handy for automated tests which need to be ran from within a shell.
Looks like an interesting tool to try. History is an important part of the shell experience.
