Turn a Command into a Reusable Script
What This Does
Save a command or series of commands into a file you can run anytime, turning one-time work into reusable automation.
Why It's Useful
If you've done it twice, automate it. Turn repetitive commands into scripts you can run with a single command.
How to Do It
- Create a file:
nano myscript.sh - Add
#!/bin/bashas the first line - Add your commands on separate lines
- Save and exit (in nano: Control + X, Y, Enter)
- Make it executable:
chmod +x myscript.sh - Run it:
./myscript.sh
Try This Now
Create a script called hello.sh with echo "Hello from my script" inside. Make it executable and run it with ./hello.sh.
Mental Hook: If you've done it twice, automate it.
