Bash Scripting Basics Part 1

[@2012Zyle]

By far, the most direct and easiest to understand BASH tutorial I've seen. Thank you so much!!!!

[@andrewlopez1233]

this is the most helpful and thorough video about bash that i've seen so far, i am taking and introduction to unix/linux course and the professor is really boring and i hardly understand anything, but this video is just what i need, very clear understandable and detailed. I highly recommend it and i appreciate your hard work. Thank you so very much Jason, and keep making these helpful videos. Thanks again.

[@stfudance5850]

Very clear and detailed descriptions with definitions. Thank you!

[@jackfrasiercomedy5942]

Best explanation of basics ever! I've read books, watched vids, but This was the most accurate and throrough! Well Done!

[@malluk4127]

Once you are in the Vi editor, hit 'i' on your keyboard to start typing. That's the insert mode. Once done typing, :wq Save the file and quit He should have shown this for people who are not familiar with Vi as an editor.

[@sauliiit8898]

damn thanks dude i had problems with this ;dd

[@robinhood3841]

You forgot the Escape *once you done from the typing hit escape to allow you to do the next commands which is :wq

[@keshavboodhun562]

you can use nano instead, it's faster esc ctrl x y enter

[@Typidica]

@@robinhood3841 THANK YOU took quite a while to find that lmao

[@hyperdragon1013]

i'm using nano editor

[@datag1199]

Great video! Clear and to the point! Thank you for putting this together.

[@FlavaBomb]

I don't always take the time to comment on videos, but thought I would for this one. Really usefull stuff... for me personally, you explained everything well and didn't go over things repeatedly, which is often the case in video tutorials where the 'teacher' is not all that proficient. I mearly wanted a refresher on the basics and maybe things I do without knowing my exactly. Thanks for sharing.

[@Uneke]

Thanks for this! The first one that actually breaks down things right from the beginning and doesn’t do the “hello world” line $(drives/me/crazy) 😂

[@jefftokplo]

Very good for a beginner like me. Keep up the good work

[@simonholmes2477]

Awesome video, really well explained, thanks

[@BeatsByFuller]

Just got into IT about 6 months ago and my boss wants me to create a script to uninstall a program across a client. This was so helpful!! Thank you!

[@rosya910]

Great explanation of bashscript! thanks

[@limitless1692]

Wow i used the Terminal for so long ... And now finaly i get it ... Thanks !

[@cizzlen07]

You sir are a true professional. Thank you greatly for this awesome piece of work. Consider teaching on an online platform, you'd be perfect for it!

[@adampax]

[@cnabisco]

Most helpful and well done video I found

[@vonyp6018]

Great explanation

[@hakiinmohamud9852]

Very good explanations!👌

[@joshsavage8659]

Your Linux series is great!

[@Sofia-wj6yo]

This is excellent, thank you so so much!

[@BlindPigBluesBand]

Great video

[@caitlingibbons2246]

The exclamation mark is part of history expansion in bash. You can avoid the backslash (escape) if you use single quotes or a modern version of BASH. Hopefully, this helps.

[@justinhernandez4022]

If you use the command with single quotes, you can finish the echo you wanted. Im sure you know that by now, but for those who dont, its: echo 'Hello!'

[@darogajee3286]

saved my day mann... good..

[@bouncesystemofadown9092]

Superb!

[@Darieee]

Thanks man ! Awesome video

[@TraceguyRune]

I agree with 15:26 Please, people, use { and } for your variable!

[@hopkinscheddar1617]

+TraceguyRune why

[@reggiegermar7291]

Its a matter of standardization and easy of use. Using curly brackets { and } would easily find/search that variable on a very long script with too much comments.

[@bitelogger]

Dude Awesome Video!!!!!!!

[@FitnessChaos]

very good video on scripting

[@ammarm7]

Thanks so much man - really useful.

[@rajasekhar9610]

Hi....as you told at 8:20 single quotes doesn't have a variable expansion but double quotes has variable expansion that's why ! Not executed.

[@christianpaul3651]

Nice tutorials !

[@peteherrera1502]

Can you copy and paste the contents of your created .sh file above to the description area above so that we can copy it to our computer and play with it.

[@unbendedurchin1821]

No

[@arvindmohansk01]

Please come up with ‘Bash Scripting Basic Part 4’

[@Seattlefan77]

Why can't everybody speak like you. Enunciation, volume, not really monotone. Awesome vid and im only a few minutes in that I learned from another video from another great content creator but who jumps back and forth between material when youre confused "Oh I forgot to mention". And i'm "Oh i'm just having a nervous breakdown"

[@Berghiker]

How do I make a new bash profile? Command not found on my mac.

[@johnniegilkerson4724]

how do you excape and save the file? @3:09

[@meh5812]

[@brenton393]

[@kaitsith3081]

[@DimitrovDime]

Thanks Richard Hendricks!

[@CodingCommanders]

Jason is my son's name! Great tutorial!

[@zozo-yy2gl]

Is your name jay ?

[@deletd7368]

What happens when I try to make a variable like : history.sh #!/bin/bash HISTCONTROL=$(history) When I use ./history.sh it says permission denied, Why?

[@AgrimITEducation]

nice video ..

[@rubym7223]

When I put any other word like "sl" , that shows the result of ls. What will I do?

[@leixiao169]

thanks!

[@rudyblender9330]

good job thx

[@smssuper]

thanks a lot man

[@geremachek]

echo -e "Hello!" works aswell

[@DEI-HIRE]

Pro Tip: If you have a link for your followers to go to, it's 100x easier to supply it in the Description Field vs putting it on the video screen for them to manually type out as if it were 1994

[@bjflinn1]

total linux noob here...this is the second video that has done something with vi and I cannot get mine to work like this. It won't let me add hash marks or press escape...so confused on this vi thing

[@AssWhole-u6d]

Yeah, vi is not for beginners! Try using nano, let me know if that helps. Learning vi/vim is a class on its own. You may still want to watch a nano tutorial to learn the basics before doing this.

[@malluk4127]

That's because Jason did not show how to 'Save' and 'Exit' out of Vi. It's not that hard to learn, but I just cannot understand how he skipped those.

[@annapurnamohanty4961]

Can you pleaae help how do i copy multiple files from one directory to another directory using shell script..i wany to copy 100different extension files from one path to another path in the same server.kindly help.thanks

[@TraceguyRune]

Do you have advanced tutorials? I want to take my bashing to a whole new level

[@shahrukhrahmankhan7860]

Thanks Friend! Script works on my machine...

[@shubhamdelhi4817]

can you make script i want i have to pay amount

[@sn20]

who would not like this video??? 3 thumbs down???

[@sagar35756]

he did not mention insert mode when writing the shell script, i.e we need to press 'i'. So had to figure out some other reference!. That may be one of the reason some ppl disliked it

[@hectorcasiano7469]

Jason Jason cool cool !!!

[@kostasmessinis2671]

does not work " .sh" what to do?

[@MikeM-py2hq]

You mean it does not execute? Forgot to change permission perhaps, try chmod.

[@randmorf]

I had a similar (same?) problem where even after I did a "chmod 775 myscript.sh", the shell would not execute my script without the 'bash' command specified first. I then found that it would work if I added a "./" before the name of my script. So. I suspect the problem is that your current directory is not in the Linux search path (try: "echo $PATH" and look to see if it is or not). With Raspbian Linux, it is not, so you can use the following command to make your home directory part of the search path: export PATH=\$PATH:$(pwd) If you now "echo $PATH" it should show something like: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/pi Now you should be able to execute your shell script by just entering it's file name, assuming it is saved in your home directory (e.g. /home/pi on a Raspberry Pi).

[@SupGhostly]

Insert mode? How do you enter insert mode?

[@sonicx7098]

Eric i I, a A , s, r R

[@johnniegilkerson4724]

I can't type anything in. what is insert mode?

[@johnniegilkerson4724]

press i

[@jasonworingen8431]

Mr. Wertz is making the same mistake most teachers do, which is starting slow and then performing a "brain dump" in a very fast manor. This commonly assumes students will have a background in whatever is being explained. This is fine for an intermediate or advanced video, NOT a beginner level.

[@poli2730]

I wanted to cycle though the possibiliets whrn pressing TAB not displaying the again this dumb list

[@AssWhole-u6d]

I prefer cmd on windows, this looks kinda cool though.

[@hanx3926]

how to write the script? how to save? how to run? If you don't show these, this is not a video for beginner.....

[@rodsmade]

fellow 42 pisciners/basecampers, unite!

[@DocHallenstein]

Too fast for me as a beginner. Thanks.
