Scripting
A shell script lets you write shell commands to run in sequence, which can save time and reduce errors.
Create a shell file
touch yourscript.sh
Open the file in any editor and write shell commands (one per line).
Permissions
The file must have execute permissions to run:
chmod +x /path/to/yourscript.sh
Execute
Run the shell script:
# From anywhere
/path/to/yourscript.sh
# From current directory
./yourscript.sh
