I'm new to bash scripting, have been writing a few recently to ease my work on a project, what is considered advanced? Loops, variables, envs? It would be cool to see one video on more advanced techniques! Handling stout and creating variables more dynamically...

[@benjaminnapper1317]

After watching this video I was able to automate setting up a new directory for html/css projects with blank index and style files included. I know it wasn't a particularly arduous process to begin with but now it's just one command. I am brand new to linux/shells/command/etc. so I thought this was cool enough to warrant my first time commenting on any video. I super appreciate your work, you are making my journey into IT much more enjoyable.

7:52 I've been a self-made Linux admin for YEARS on my home network, I've scripted everything in the world, and never knew how to actually capture in-line arguments from the user like this. You sir, are amazing. I knew everything else in this video, but this one piece of information will prove invaluable in the future, :-)

[@sugasheeze]

What? How have you been doing it for then? It's one of the first things most people learn w/ bash.

[@gerowen]

@@sugasheeze I would just capture input from the user as a variable, or manually grab a known environment variable or something. I never knew how to use $1 to grab arguments right from the launch command.

Your method of teaching bash scripts is excellent. Even someone who has never heard of bash scripting before will easily learn the entire concept just by watching your video. You’ve made the concept so clear and easy to understand. Please create more videos like this one to help people learn Linux. Your work is truly appreciated! Great job! keep going!

[@pwerd]

Lets goooooo! Just what I was needing. Thanks for the quick upload of part 2 Chuck!

[@numberiforgot]

Bash is the gateway to know Linux systems inside and out. You could write an entire web server and deploy it with shell scripts. The power is incredible.

[@articularspark224]

Hey, Chuck! I wanted to give you a huge thank-you. The things I've learned from your videos have not only aided in landing me a job in I.T., but continue to supplement my skill set as I go! I'm forever grateful!

[@BitwiseMobile]

Bash is the backbone of Linux systems. Linux is designed to have a bunch of small single purpose applications. You stitch those together using tools like bash. As a windows developer it took me a long time to realize that. I used to write these huge, monolithic applications in C++ for Linux without realizing that many of the tools I needed were already there, built into the operating system. I just needed to learn how to put them together. Bash was key for that. Now, instead of writing custom programs, I write bash scripts which use built in functionality to get what I need done.

[@h8rsbeware496]

Im not a beginner, and I know a small amount of bash, but I still find your attitude and style great. You make programming sound fun which is honestly so powerful for beginners, and I wish Id found you before you randomly popped into my home feed.

[@IgorFerreira69]

I think I just found the best teacher ever, I knew this stuff for years, and I never felt this excited. 100% revived my will to do some bash scripting and I'll recommend this video to everyone who wishes to learn bash.

[@datascience3008]

In Bash, variable assignments should not have any spaces surrounding the equal sign (=). So the correct syntax for assigning a value to a variable in Bash is: name="amal" Without any spaces around the equal sign. In your example, $name = "amal", Bash tries to execute a command called name with the arguments = and "amal", which will result in a command not found error. Therefore, you should always remember to exclude any spaces when assigning a value to a variable in Bash.

He is not joking! Bash Scripting changed my life! I worked in a small TV studio. My job was easily to automate, and repetitive. I've done it with bash and my work got reduced from 14h to about 2 or 3! Now I'm working for an electronics company! With bash I've made a simple script to fill out some field from websites we order parts! Now ordering just means copy just 1 number and paste it in the browser! It use to be very time consuming and annoying!.. Now with bash again, I am writing a simple database/RFID scanner! This will get rid of using paper labels in my company and make everything more easily to find. I love Bash Scripting!

Well when I clicked on this video wanting to know what Bash scripting is, you will never be able to understand the excitement I had knowing what variables were and how to use them. I know It's small and something that Isn't to big to get excited over but the happiness I felt knowing a concept like variables made me finally feel some sort of progress. Thank you very much for the boost in confidence today and I will definitely be looking into Bash scripting once I've progressed far enough.

[@jeremypalmer9028]

Nice. One thing I would say is you should get use to doing variables like this: ${name} with squiggle brackets around it, also called variable substitution The cool thing is you can set a default incase the variable isn't sent. $(command) with curly braces is command substitution. directory=${PWD} and directory=$(pwd) will usually do the same thing.

Another method to put a command inside a variable, that you can use in your script is by using "backtick", Example: var1=`pwd` instead of var1=$(pwd). But the only problem you might get, when your code is bulky and you can't differentiate between single quotation and backtick `'. People could get confused when looking at your code.
