🔨 Bash Shorts 🩳: How to redirect output to a protected file (a.k.a.“sudo echo”)

🔨 Bash Shorts 🩳: “sudo echo” (or “How to redirect output to a protected file”)

Why sudo echo "something" > /path/to/protected/file.txt doesn’t work and what to do instead.

If you are working on the command-line and you want to write output to a file, sooner or later you come up with this command: echo "output" > file.

This is called a “Redirection”. This works wonderfully and you go on your merry way.

Sometime later, you need to do the same thing with a protected file.

Searching for a generic documentation block convention to use with BASH

Documentation block tags conventions for BASH

For most languages a single standard for documenting functions and methods in block comments (a.k.a. doc-blocks) has emerged.

For BASH, however, there does not seem to be a definitive convention. Several competing conventions exist, which made me think:

Could a list of doc-block tags be distilled from those used across all (or most) languages?

Time to find out!

BASH script to clone all git repository in a Group on GitLab, or Organization on GitHub.

Introduction

Starting at a new employer always mean checking out various git repositories.

As the amount of repositories a company has grows, the time needed to clone all of those repositories also grows.

This script automates this task.

In order for this script to work, a personal access token is needed.
