Script, resources and example code for the course Advanced bash scripting taking place at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg from 6th – 10th November 2017.

Included files:

• bash_course.pdf: The main script
• LICENCE: Overview how files in this repository are licenced
• resources/: Data neccessary to run the examples and work on the exercises.

Before being able to do the Project Gutenberg-related exercises, you should run the script resources/gutenberg/download.sh from the resources/gutenberg directory, i.e.

cd resources/gutenberg
./download.sh

If you want a more fancy .bashrc configuration, e.g. a coloured output of grep or a colored command prompt, run the install.sh script from the files_for_home directory.

cd files_for_home
./install.sh

Note that this will replace your current .bashrc and your current .profile in case these files exist.

Some further information about the course can be found on the course website.

The solutions to the exercises will also be published on the course website during or after the course.
