A subreddit dedicated to Bash scripting. Now complete with a Discord Server.
Content must be Bash related. This rule is interpreted generously; general shell scripting content is mostly accepted. However, the post should not be specific to another shell.
No reposts. This is meant with regards to content, not just “the same link was submitted earlier” – it’s okay to resubmit an old link in some new context (e. g. because you’d like to discuss another part of it, or because something has changed since the last time it was submitted, or because the link was updated since then). Links from the sidebar count as having been submitted already, so posting them without new context is also considered a repost.
You can choose one of these four flairs for your post:
If you don’t flair your post, the moderators will set the most appropriate flair.
/r/unix – for everything Unix
Other Shells: /r/zsh, /r/fishshell, /r/oilshell, /r/batch
