Nice, got some really good tidbits in there, and I especially like your opening, giving some context to understand the rest of the article

Shell Scripting
1337 readers

From Ash, Bash and Csh to Xonsh, Ysh and Zsh; all shell languages are welcome here!
Rules:
- Follow Lemmy rules!
- Posts must relate to shell scripting. (See bottom of sidebar for more information.)
- Only make helpful replies to questions. This is not the place for low effort joke answers.
- No discussion about piracy or hacking.
- If you find a solution to your problem by other means, please take your time to write down the steps you used to solve your problem in the original post. You can potentially help others having the same problem!
- These rules will change as the community grows.
Keep posts about shell scripting! Here are some guidelines to help:
- Allowed: Release Announcement of a command-line program designed for scripted use (e.g. bash, bats, awk, jq, coreutils/moreutils)
- Allowed: Tutorials on using shell languages or supplementary tools designed for scripted use
- Allowed: Code review/help requests for shell languages or supplementary tools designed for scripted use
- NOT Allowed: Announcement of a CLI or TUI program that is not designed for scripted use (Yes, your fancy Zsh plugin which pretty-prints the date and time using only builtins is very cool, but unless you actually want to discuss the code itself, please check out !commandline instead!)
- NOT Allowed: Domain-specific tutorials that do not involve shell scripting as a core component (e.g. docker-compose, ansible, nix). If you really love one of these, I'm sure there's a community out there ready to talk about them!
- NOT Allowed: Code review requests for non-shell programming languages and configuration languages (e.g. Python, Yaml)
In general, if your submission text is primarily shell code, then it is welcome here!

Never quite understand what sed
is designed for. It seems to be able to do almost everything in the cost of complexity. Really useful when I need to hack together some config files for auto builds tho.
The name s
tream ed
itor hints at its origin: It's a strictly non-interactive implementation based on the standard Unix line editor ed
-- or technically qed
, which is based on ed
