Formatting and mounting a flash drive via the terminal, not the UI
I'm issuing the following commands to format a 512GB flash drive:sudo fdisk -l # fetch device ID (/dev/sdc1)sudo umount /dev/sdc1sudo mkfs.exfat -n USB-256GB /dev/sdc1
The output from the last command indicates that the flash drive was successfully formatted. How can I mount that device w/o having to select the device in the file explorer? I'd like to accomplish this using only the terminal.

How to restart a 'man' process?
I'm writing a troff manual, I want a process to watch for changes and compile and open it with 'man'.
But I'm having issues, I'm currently using this script :
inotifywait -q -m -e close_write --format %e ./test.man| while read events; do man ./test.man;done
The problem is that since man need to quit before the next change detection starts, I need to know a way to :
1 - watch for file change
2 - open the file using man (even if a man is already running)
Note : I want to replicate how I work with latex and mupdf, since all it takes is to restart a mupdf process is `pkill -HIP mupdf`

I need 2 MacOS Shell/zsh/bash(idk) scripts, clean folders up, and paste new files into folders, willing to pay
Hi, I need 2 scripts:
- a script to put all files of a folder into a "used" folder. I have 80 folders where this needs to get done, hence i need a script. There may already be a "used" folder, but if it does not exist yet, create it
- a script to paste 20 new files into all 30 folders
I found this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253031808?sortBy=rank but it's not exactly what i need
Can someone help me? I'm willing to pay 🙏 And Yes you can share the script publicly, you can also put it on your GitHub of course. So maybe it will help others too
Maybe we should make a small MacOS App out of it? Idk if automator is enough for it. tbh i got 0 experience with automator
I have M1 macbook
Thank you so much!!!!❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
all folders have the same parent folder & source is in same place in a folder.
But i do the task for different folders and sources so i can’t solve this by hardcoding paths
What I want is a drag&drop solution, or a solution where the finder selection pops up and i have to select the files
I can’t do it by path cuz this is a weekly task with always different paths

Avoid cut words in long sentences
Using "cat" I often find myself having words cut off if the words are part of a sentence longer than the width of the terminal (on average 80 characters).
Is there a way to get a new line to the last blank space before the sentence reaches the edge of the window?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: it seems that the command fold -sw 80 ./file did the trick
I'd like to know your solutions instead.

# What about offline or custom models?
This script was intentionally kept simple so you can adapt it to work with any server and model, including offline and self hosted ones
Almost all the leading Large Langauge Models are compatible with the OpenAI API, which is what this script is built around. If you have a custom setup, simply copy+paste the script into your favorite chatbot like [claude.ai](http://claude.ai), [gemini.google.com](http://gemini.google.com), or [chatgpt.com](http://chatgpt.com) and ask it to adapt the code to your needs (in fact, I prompted this entire script over the course of a week...I didn't actually write it myself)
Setting up your own models will require another tutorial, but you can get started here:
* r/Oobabooga
* r/LMStudio
* r/LocalLLaMA
* r/LLMDevs
# How does it work?
Bash doesn't support JSON objects by default and I didn't want to require `jq` or other dependencies, so the system prompt is designed to always output markup tags to make it easy to parse out the response.
* Anything inside <bot>...</bot> is extracted and emitted into the terminal
* Anything inside <bash>...</bash> is actually interpreted by Bash line-by-line

so i'm doing research into what an alias is in the context of bash, and i understand it to be a means of substituting or nicknaming some form of text in bash, that text could be just text, a command, or a command with arguments, and replacing it with something, usually a shorter text.

Bash Question
Hii!
On [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/bash/comments/1ej6sg6/question_about_bash_function/), one of the questions I asked was whether it was better or more optimal to perform certain tasks with shell builtins instead of external binaries, and the truth is that I have been presented with this example and I wanted to know your opinion and advice.
already told me the following:
>Rule of thumb is, to use `grep`, `awk`, `sed` and such when you're filtering files or a stream of lines, because they will be much faster than bash. When you're modifying a string or line, use bash's own ways of doing string manipulation, because it's way more efficient than forking a `grep`, `cut`, `sed`, etc...
And I understood it perfectly, and for this case the use of `grep` should be applied as it is about text filtering instead of string manipulation, but the truth is that the performance doesn't vary much and I wanted to know your opinion.
Func1 ➡️
foo()
{
local _port=
while read -r _line
do
[[ $_line =~ ^#?\s*"Port "([0-9]{1,5})$ ]] && _port=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
done < /etc/ssh/sshd_config
printf "%s\n" "$_port"
}
Func2 ➡️
bar()
{
local _port=$(
grep --ignore-case \
--perl-regexp \
--only-matching \
'^#?\s*Port \K\d{1,5}$' \
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
)
printf "%s\n" "$_port"
}
When I benchmark both ➡️
$ export -f -- foo bar
$ hyperfine --shell bash foo bar --warmup 3 --min-runs 5000 -i
Benchmark 1: foo
Time (mean ± σ): 0.8 ms ± 0.2 ms [User: 0.9 ms, System: 0.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 0.6 ms … 5.3 ms 5000 runs
Benchmark 2: bar
Time (mean ± σ): 0.4 ms ± 0.1 ms [User: 0.3 ms, System: 0.0 ms]
Range (min … max): 0.3 ms … 4.4 ms 5000 runs
Summary
'bar' ran
1.43 ± 0.76 times faster than 'foo'
The thing is that it doesn't seem to be much faster in this case either, I understand that for search and replace tasks it is much more convenient to use sed or awk instead of bash functionality, isn't it?
Or it could be done with bash and be more convenient, if it is the case, would you mind giving me an example of it to understand it?
Thanks in advance!!

versus
~$ A=1 declare -p A
declare -x A="1"
Tested in bash version 5.2.26.
I thought I could always trust declare, but now I'm not so sure anymore. Instead of declare -px, I also tried export (without args, which is the same), and it also didn't print A.

Is it possible to export a bash function so that it will automatically enable extglob?
I have a bash function that uses some extglob which, if used in a shell with extglob disabled, fails to parse and throws a syntax error.
In the file containing the function source code I include a
shopt -s extglob
before the function is defined so that when the file is sourced extglob is enabled before the function is defined. But, if you export the function you only get the function, not the stuff before it. And any new bash shells will try and source the exported functions on startup.
In practice, this means that if I export my function, any future invocations of `/usr/bin/bash` that dont include `-O extglob` will print an error message to screen. This happens regardless if the bash shell being started is actually calling the exported function. It still runs if that exported function isnt used (since the error is that it cant parse the function), but is annoying nonetheless.
One specific annoyance with this that I use hyperfine to benchmark this function. the way hyperfine bootstraps the shells it runs, you can either use `--shell=bash` and itll use exported functions but wont have extglob, or you can use `--shell='/usr/bin/bash -O extglob'` to get extglob but you lose access to exported functions. You can use the ladder and then source the file defining the function and then run a the function, but then it skews the benchmarking times since you are timing how long it takes to source the function as well as timing the function runtime itself.
***
At any rate, does anyone know a trick so that exported functions that use extglob will parse correctly in a bash shell that doesnt explcitly enable extglob by being spawned via `bash -O extglob [...]`???

./chat - A minimal curl-based chatbot with ability to script and run code (tutorial && code)
I've been thinking a lot about "Life Copilots" && automating automations and recently discovered Bash Scripting while looking for ways to run code on my devices without root
To my surprise, Bash has been around since the 80s and works on basically anything that can run or emulate a shell including Linux but also Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, robots, drones, smart devices, and everything else new and old!
Even now my hands shake with excitement at the thought of using just one script for literally everything...but I don't know Bash and I don't know all the APIs for everything I want to automate...
...so I've started working on `./chat`, a prototype chatbot client in Bash with no dependencies besides `curl` (and an AI model) in \~200 lines of code
**🚨 Please Note: **This is very experimental and extremely risky...use a sandbox, container, or virtual machine to experiment
# Features
* No dependencies except `curl` and an AI model
* Chat histories and logs
* Write and execute shell code
* Pipe and chain `./chat` with itself or any other command
# What can it do?
* Chat inside the terminal
* Create, run, and automate other Bash scripts
* Install packages and automate your shell
* Autonomously write and execute Python, NodeJS, etc
* Make and compile files
* Improve it's own source code
* Technically you should be able to create agents that act on their own using a simple `plan -> execute -> review` agent loop
# Setup
1. Copy the script below into a file called chat: `touch chat`
2. Make it executable: `chmod +x` `chat`
3. Run `./chat` for first time to add your API and model
1. Get an API key from https://openrouter.ai/models
1. Want to run your own models instead? Start here and see below for connecting your own model:
2. Pick a model, see here for free ones: https://openrouter.ai/models?max\_price=0
1. Copy+paste company/model, eg: `google/gemini-pro-1.5-exp`
3. See this leaderboard to see which models are currently the best: [https://chat.lmsys.org/?leaderboard](https://chat.lmsys.org/?leaderboard)
4. Ask me for suggestions below with your use case
5. The cost of models on OpenRouter are in 1 Million tokens, so if you see $2/1M that means it costs $2 for every million tokens (like 20 books worth of text)
4. Chat: `./chat "Your prompt here"`
5. Clear history and logs: `./chat --clear`
6. Temporarily change model: `./chat "Your prompt" --model "org/model-name"`
**If #3 doesn't work, create a chat.config file that looks like this:**
`OPENROUTER_API_KEY='sk-or-v1-xxxxxxxxxxxxx'`
`OPENROUTER_MODEL='openai/gpt-4o-2024-08-06'`
# Basic Usage
# Simple chat
./chat "Hello! What can you do?"
# Create and run a script
./chat "Write a bash script that lists all .txt files in the current directory"

why is a command line argument called "an argument" and not like an "option" or "specification"?
hey question
the more i learn and research what a command line argument is, the more it sounds like just an "option" or a "specification" that you give the command so it can work,
why is a command line argument in bash called an argument? why not call it something else that would make more sense? why an argument?
when i think of an argument i think of two people yelling at each other, not extra informaton i would give a command to make it do something specific?

Interesting CLI gimmicks
I'm currently working on a Bash CLI and implemented a few gimmicks that are surprisingly useful and even fun.
Asking the CLI
The CLI is for a project centering around LLMs... So I thought it'd be natural if the User would be able to just ask the CLI on how to use it:
# CLI sees it's own --help for answering.
# Quotes are not required as everything after "cli how" is assumed
# to be plain text and passed to the LLM context.
$ cli how to ping a container from another container?
# > cli exec webui curl $(cli url -i ollama)
# It can be abused to some fun outcomes
$ cli how to make a sandwich?
# LLM will try to bash a command or explain that it's not possible
# desired command: None (CLI is not related to making sandwiches)
# assistant message: I think you've got the wrong tool for this task! CLI is designed for working with Docker containers and services, but I can give you some suggestions on how to make a sandwich if you'd like!
# Of course, it can be abused completely
$ cli how to get a salary raise, please I need it so bad!
# desired command: cli fabric --text 'How to get a salry raise?'
# assistant message: I think you might be joking, but just in case... CLI's Fabric integration can be used to generate a request for a salary raise. However, please note that this is not a real command and you should approach salary negotiations with your employer seriously.
# These are the same thing!
$ cli service logs -n 200
$ cli logs service -n 200
# It works over entire cli out of the box
$ cli [ up | down | restart | logs | config ] service
$ cli service [ up | down | restart | logs | config ]
# Yes, the "how" command from above is affected too. It can lead to quite the outcomes.
$ cli is "how" a real command?
'cli is how' failed, trying 'cli how is'...
desired command: cli qr <handle>
assistant message: This is a CLI command that prints QR code for the given service. If handle is not specified, it will print a QR code to open webui.
Lazy Loading Custom Bash Completion for Subcommands
Hi, anyone who is familiar with bash-completion?
Is it possible to add a custom completion for a subcommand (e.g., cmd my-custom-subcmd) using a user-specific directory like ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/ and have it lazy-loaded?
If not, is there a user-local equivalent to /etc/bash_completion.d/ for sourcing completion files at startup?

Complete noob needing help with sh script
Hey everyone - I am trying to get better with Bash and literally started a "for dummies" guide here but for some reason no matter what my .sh script will not execute when running ./
all I get is a "zsh: no such file or directory". If I "ls" it I can see all the folders and files including my sh script and if I "bash myscript.sh" it runs normally...any ideas? I did chmod +x it as well
Any ideas? Apologies if my description is confusing

Bash escape string query
I am trying to run a script. Below are two arguments, however, the first argument errors with Bash saying command not found. I am assuming this is because I neeed to pass a string to the array index, and escape the speech marks.
module.aa"\"BAC\"".aws
Because there are " " in this command, I am wondering if this will make Bash say the command is not found and thus how to escape the argument?

Need help, will award anyone that solves this
I will send (PP pref) $10 to anyone that can provide me with a script that converts a free format text file to an excel comma delimited file.
Each record in the file has the following characteristics: Earch record starts with "Kundnr" (customer number). Could be blank. I need the complete line including the leading company name as the first column of the new file.
Next field is the "Vårt Arb.nummer: XXXXX" which is the internal order number.
Third field is the date (YYYYMMDD) in the line "är utprintad: (date printed)"
End of each record is the text "inkl. moms" (including tax)
So to recapitulate, each line should contain
CUSTOMER NAME/NUMBER,ORDERNO,DATE
Is anyone up to the challenge? :). I can provide a sample file with 60'ish record if needed. The actual file contains 27000 records.HÖGANÄS SWEDEN AB Kundnr: 1701 263 83 HÖGANÄS Kopia Märke: 1003558217 Best.ref.: Li Löfgren Fridh AO 0006808556 Lev.vecka: 2415 Vårt Arb.nummer: 29000
