I have an above-average interest and pleasure in developing bash
scripts and I share that passion in various ways.
I bundled all of them in the Bashful Scripting network.
My biggest project is a work of love I started in 2017 as bash-boilerplate and that resulted in github.com/pforret/bashew . It’s a tool to create bash scripts, with high-quality boilerplate code, batteries-included.
I started a (+- monthly) email newsletter with curated links to bash-related content. Tips & tricks for development, interesting bash projects, articles on advanced or beginner’s topics. I get a lot of content from Hacker news and Github.
What is happening in bash development today? I gather news feeds from Hackernews, Twitter, Github, StackOverflow and dozens of blogs on:
Something I did, inspired by the various learn-X-in-Y-minutes projects.
github.com/pforret/LearnBashQuickly or bash.forret.comn/learn
Any serious development environment needs a system for package management (install/upgrade/uninstall). I work with basher, developed in bash by Juan Ibiapina, because it’s the most intuitive in my opinion.
E.g. basher install pforret/splashmark
installs my splashmark program in 5 seconds, and it works immediately.</p>
What was still missing, however, was a directory of basher
compatible projects.
So I started one: www.basher.it/package
github.com/pforret/splashmark : create (social) images based on Unsplash photos, with proper attribution, titles, image filters. Used to make most of the images on this page. Launched in 2020.
github.com/pforret/gandi_deploy: Easy git-based deployment for (PHP projects on) Gandi Simple Hosting. Launched in 2020.
