One post tagged with "bash"

I have long since come to appreciate the value of writing scripts to avoid someone else (or future me) from having to re-learn and re-solve problems, but something about it has always bugged me.

I am automating a process, but I'm also documenting it, and those two things struggle to coexist.

One option is to write a bash script for the automation and a markdown file for the documentation, but they inevitably end up duplicating information and/or getting out of sync. The other is to just have a single markdown file with a bunch of inline bash that you manually copy into a terminal. But "running" it is clunky, tedious, and easy to mess up.
