Bash

[Jason Morales]

What is a good resource for shell commands/using the Unix terminal?
I know how to navigate directories and basic file manipulation but that's it.
What are good online resources on the bash shell and stuff like grep/sed/awk? inb4 man pages

For more they have a sed/awk book. Install in a vm ls /usr/bin or ls /usr/sbin pick a command and google

[Michael Kelly]

Bash is almost exclusively Linux-related, not Unix-related. There is a difference.

Learn to use a real shell, like csh, tcsh, zsh, or even the original Korn shell, sh. Or use Perl. Fuck bash. Bash sucks.

[Zachary Parker]

1. open terminal
2. info bash

You will never find a better resource.

The GNU org has online manuals (which I guess are copies of the info files, but potentially in html) for bash, sed, grep, awk, and all their other tools.

>inb4 man pages
rtfm, that's why it exists for a reason. so you don't have to ask people. stop being a lazy faggot and learn to use man pages or just stop because you will not accomplish anything with that attitude in this area

perl is fucking garbage and no sane person would use that piece of shit for anything. every bit of perl code i wrote or had to write makes me regret having ever touched this abomination.

[John Cooper]

Just find things you want to do in the shell and look up how to do it. Then understand what the commands to do what you wanted to do did using man pages and search engines.

[Asher Richardson]

For sed/awk, read the GNU manuals(not the man pages). For bash use wooledge.

Unix Power Tools is great for learning both beginner and advanced shell stuff. It's a big O'Reilly book.
Also, Apple has a surprisingly good tutorial on shell scripting. But man pages are also great, and once you understand shell scripting to some extent, please read them.

dunno about BASH but it should be a nice starting piont

>bash
More like TRASH lmfao.

[Ethan Rogers]

That's entirely unrelated to what the OP wants. You linked some ricer shit.

[Brayden Gutierrez]

OP here, thanks this is exactly what I was looking for

[James Anderson]

You're not OP you fucking faggot, I am.

What?

[Owen Walker]

Why use something else than bash? Aren't the syntaxes similar anyway?
If you want to "improve" on bash why not just go all the way and use Perl

[Nathaniel Baker]

Man pages

[Blake Adams]

>Aren't the syntaxes similar anyway?
Yeah, most stuff is based on the bourne shell syntax, since it came with Unix version 7.
>If you want to "improve" on bash
It's not improving on bash, it's going a different direction from bash.
>why not just go all the way and use Perl
Make Perl your login shell and tell us how it goes.

[Luis Murphy]

>it's going a different direction from bash.
Could you elaborate?
My default shell is bash. Why should I choose to change to csh, ksh, fish or zsh?

[Luke Johnson]

Google for whatever you need whenever you need it, then look at man pages. You'll pick it up naturally.

[Michael Nelson]

You'd perhaps try ksh93 rather than bash for floating point mathematics, or associative arrays, if you didn't need a bash-only feature. ksh has some features bash doesn't, and bash has some features ksh doesn't. But they both improve upon the original Bourne sh.

Some features are in bash, some aren't.
