bash-playground

📚 Learning and exploring Bash and the shell in general; capturing useful snippets that I would otherwise too easily forget.

Overview

This is a somewhat hap-hazard collection of command-line stuff, not just Bash. The project is split into the following directories.

Miscellaneous scripts and scratch content.

See the README in misc/.

Learning and exploring fzf https://github.com/junegunn/fzf -- a command-line fuzzy finder.

See the README in fzf/.

Learning and exploring Perl https://www.perl.org/.

See the README in perl/.

Learning and exploring Bash programmable completion.

See the README in completion/.

General clean-ups, TODOs and things I wish to implement for this project:

Add xargs examples
Make an example with a fifo (a.k.a "named pipe")
DONE Programmable completion. Learn the very basics.
DONE bash-completion examples. Learn the very basics and explore a real example like docker. I'm especially interested in how to invoke completions in a non-interactive way, like you would need for automated testing.
