@Mituz pffft~ your wife got annoyed that you didn't make her day using the $1 in the script and you're taking it out on here aren't you! hmmm, I think reading the documentation would suit your learning style. But don't be mad when you see an exclamation mark (!) in the code lol ;-)
He is cutting everything short now .. should check out his other videos ... Way better .. his energy pours out in all of them so it makes it worth it to watch them
I have been an software engineer for almost 8 years, I already know everything in this video but it is so enjoyable to watch Chuck to explain these things.
I'm backend engineer and i know bash scripting and write a few advanced scripts, i still watch and paused the video and did the challenge. your style of teaching is cool and effective. i really enjoy your vids.
I'm new to bash scripting, have been writing a few recently to ease my work on a project, what is considered advanced? Loops, variables, envs? It would be cool to see one video on more advanced techniques! Handling stout and creating variables more dynamically...
After watching this video I was able to automate setting up a new directory for html/css projects with blank index and style files included. I know it wasn't a particularly arduous process to begin with but now it's just one command. I am brand new to linux/shells/command/etc. so I thought this was cool enough to warrant my first time commenting on any video. I super appreciate your work, you are making my journey into IT much more enjoyable.
Hey man do you remember the time you were feeling down and out about the views of some of your content - Just know that I am glad that you kept the momentum and you are gaining velocity. All of the stuff that you do is great to watch and listen to while I program, man. Keep up the positivity and keep up with sharing the cool projects :P If you ever wanna collab let me know. I would enjoy helping you get some content out there for DevSecOps.
Your method of teaching bash scripts is excellent. Even someone who has never heard of bash scripting before will easily learn the entire concept just by watching your video. You’ve made the concept so clear and easy to understand. Please create more videos like this one to help people learn Linux. Your work is truly appreciated! Great job! keep going!
I think I just found the best teacher ever, I knew this stuff for years, and I never felt this excited. 100% revived my will to do some bash scripting and I'll recommend this video to everyone who wishes to learn bash.
Dude you're such a good teacher! Halfway through this video I wrote a script that makes a new directory, takes your input to name it, creates new index.html and style.css files inside it, and opens it in VS Code! I feel so accomplished hahahaha
Like most folks here…I’ve been in IT and cybersecurity for years and know all of the concepts being taught here. Still watched and enjoyed this whole video. This dude’s charisma while teaching the IT fundamentals is infectious…lol! 👏
bro you are a awesome teacher, my 11 year old daughter with 0 scripting knowledge followed this tut perfectly, even went outside the tut, adding in her own inputs and variables , great job! the joy in her eyes was awesome to see! she was proud. :)
Hey, Chuck! I wanted to give you a huge thank-you. The things I've learned from your videos have not only aided in landing me a job in I.T., but continue to supplement my skill set as I go! I'm forever grateful!
this has to be the most engaging, interesting and like hype filled youtuber doing IT related tutorials ever. The energy you bring to this video makes all the other youtubers I've watch look like 90yr old's. Love it hahaha.
7:52 I've been a self-made Linux admin for YEARS on my home network, I've scripted everything in the world, and never knew how to actually capture in-line arguments from the user like this. You sir, are amazing. I knew everything else in this video, but this one piece of information will prove invaluable in the future, :-)
@@sugasheeze I would just capture input from the user as a variable, or manually grab a known environment variable or something. I never knew how to use $1 to grab arguments right from the launch command.
Bash scripting is one of the most beautiful tool I've ever discovered. I use it daily to do my calculations as well as to process data and manage files. Thank you for this video.
I love his excitement for any videos he makes on his channel. It's something you would get with a very few amount of teachers. This, right here, is someone who's passionate about his channel
CHUCK - I've been an IT professional and programmer for 27 years - running my own home-based MSP/coding business for the past 12. I just wanted to say that your content and delivery are fantastic! Tech is ever-changing and the best of us are learning new skills and taking multiple courses every single year in a futile, but crucial, effort to keep up. I'm subbing to your channel and sending my junior techs here to do the same. Keep it up!!
Im not a beginner, and I know a small amount of bash, but I still find your attitude and style great. You make programming sound fun which is honestly so powerful for beginners, and I wish Id found you before you randomly popped into my home feed.
I actually really appreciate how chuck has the viewer complete the activities with him, I think that’s pretty rare, which is ironic considering IT is so hands on. People like him and prof messer are really doing more for my education than any institution I’m paying lots of money..
Hey Chuck. Love your videos! You're best at explaining the stuff in IT, and getting us engaged and hyped into it as well! I've learned a lot about IT from your videos. Never ever stop what you're doing, because you're doing an amazing job!
Bash is the gateway to know Linux systems inside and out. You could write an entire web server and deploy it with shell scripts. The power is incredible.
@@NetworkChuck doing since week, but not feling motivated idk just complicated life issues. I'm fighting on it.! Thanks a lot for response it meant a lot...
Ive been wanting to get into IT but found it so intimidating. Since finding chucks channel, it’s really motivated and made IT seem very possible and I know will change my life. Being deployed currently, you’re a daily part of my routine in my self learning and have already learned so much in such a short amount of time. So thank you sir for such great videos and changing the course of my career.
Your enthusiasm is half the reason I click your videos man... there's a lesson in there somewhere for the rest of us. Thanks for continuing the bash content!!
@@SlySportz looks like that reply was deleted. I wasn’t calling you a scam bot. There was this crypto scam bot replying to people’s comments telling to call some phone number which would lead to a scam
What a motivator! This is better than TV ever, like ever! I was born 60 years too old. I could have grown up with and actually learnt this now and even enjoyed learning it. Well done Chuck. Just go man, you are on the right path. You figured it out. humane and humour.I don't appreciate people that are happy so much but I'll let you be so. I hate happy people.
Whoa !! Awesome Stuff man . I didn't knew '$1,$2....' arguments can be used to enter inputs before even executing the script . Thanks chuck . Need more Shell scripting Videos .
I worked with AutoIT and this feels somewhat similar to that and I'm happy with this so far! Thank you for being the middle school computer lab teacher that I should have had back in '98.
as a linux sysengineer/programmer for 15 years, i love how you make something that is so simple for us for regular/not-IT people fun. yeah i knew that stuff, but i searched for a video that teaches a newbie and i can say, your video seems like a good start into shell scripting and i will use it as a stepstone for teaching. good job :)
Fr makes learning all this so fun. Videos on linux and tech are just so unbelievably boring and it makes learning so hard. But people like you actually make the learning process not only so much easier but way more fun. Thank you so much

I think you do a great job of driving home the basics and then we get to the cliff all too often where we divert to a different platform. I know you have to make a living I get it, but wouldn't growing your viewing hours, likes, subs grow your channel organically? Or is the target audience too small? I know some other youtubers also use flaotplane or patreon, not trashing your business model but I do find it bit frustrating to be into your teachings and then we just stop.
*Talking about trading crypto/stock, Crypto market has brought me great success!!! Irrespective of the economic downturn I can boast of over $57000 every month on my investment. Thank you Kimberly Jose for your focus on quality stocks. blessings🙌*
After a successful investment you have nothing to worry about, whether the rise and fall of economy or anything won't affect you, make your future brighter, by making good investment.
My first investment with expert Kimberly Jose gave me over $38,750 and that has made me reinvest with her, I got four of my friends involved with her already
I have used TH-cam forever now and have never left a comment before today. I actually was smiling and having a blast folowing along learning this awesome stuff! I have taken a post secondary course teaching bash and as you could probably guess, that was extremely dry stuff compared to this. Thanks for bringing joy and entertainment into learning NetworkChuck! Definatly excited to continue learning from all the great content you have on your channel!
Bash is the backbone of Linux systems. Linux is designed to have a bunch of small single purpose applications. You stitch those together using tools like bash. As a windows developer it took me a long time to realize that. I used to write these huge, monolithic applications in C++ for Linux without realizing that many of the tools I needed were already there, built into the operating system. I just needed to learn how to put them together. Bash was key for that. Now, instead of writing custom programs, I write bash scripts which use built in functionality to get what I need done.
Seeing your vid for the first time. I already know advanced level BASH scripting, but your enthusiasm and excitement while explaining is fun, hilarious and very encouraging to beginners. Keep up the good work.
I know a bit of bash already, but I still watched this just cuz Chuck's infectious enthusiasm as he teaches this stuff is contagious and helps me get motivated and excited about learning new things. thanks Chuck!
I wrote my script using arguments at first, but I changed it to make it easier to get user input instead. Here's it: echo "What gender are you Male or Female?" read gender echo "What is your name?" read user if [ "$gender" == "Female" ] then echo "Good Morning $user!!" sleep 1.0 echo "You're looking good today $user!!" sleep 1.0 else echo "You have the best beard I've ever seen $user!!" fi Note: I started learning Bash Script late in June of this year and now I'm advancing my knowledge using it since I just finish the videos this week from Learn Linux TV. Sir Chuck, you've taught me how to use the read function that I didn't even know about. Thanks for the wonderful video!
I'll speak beard to beard here, Chuck, your videos have been the most engaging while to-the-point videos on these more technical topics that I have ever run into, and I am SUPER thankful for this series in particular, as I have inherited a veritable sysadmin disaster, and need to learn how to script safely for business-critical ops, and quickly. This channel right here has been the most useful resource I have found yet!
I've just started about a week ago to learn how to code (I'm learning Python and so far I'm not all that deep in, however I have learned a lot of concepts) I thought I wasn't getting anywhere in programming and was moping around today feeling kind of let down by the zero progress, I still can only write basic "print" commands with a few little bit more advanced lines of codes like "input". Well when I clicked on this video wanting to know what Bash scripting is, you will never be able to understand the excitement I had knowing what variables were and how to use them. I know It's small and something that Isn't to big to get excited over but the happiness I felt knowing a concept like variables made me finally feel some sort of progress. Thank you very much for the boost in confidence today and I will definitely be looking into Bash scripting once I've progressed far enough.
i like that you dont assume we are smart, and take time have patience, to try to explain to us the dos and the donts so we get comparisons; and eventualities we eventually will run into, someone will. to avoid or be aware of...
What!? That's already 14 mins?! I guess this proves that time flies fast if you love what you are doing and learning. Still you're a great speaker and that's also a big factor! More power!
Coming from a non-technical background and transitioning, you’ve made learning indefinitely easier, and fun bc of your personality and teaching style. Never change ✊🏾
Oh wow glad I placed this in my watch later list. I've been bashing only when I needed to, like putting all of my captured picture from my IP Camera, upload it on an ftp server, create a folder that has a name of yesterday's date, transfer all the pictures there. Or print my hardware sentinel status in a text file, upload it to a box webdav service and each week zip all of the files to archive them just so I can check the status of my hard drives on the go. But I never thought or bother to figure out how to do bash's version of scanf(in C) or input(in Python) and all that jazz. Glad I found this video.
Hey hey just found your channel, i am Frontend software dev, and I've been looking to add bash scripting to my skill bucket, so far this first vide i just watched was fantastic!
In Bash, variable assignments should not have any spaces surrounding the equal sign (=). So the correct syntax for assigning a value to a variable in Bash is: name="amal" Without any spaces around the equal sign. In your example, $name = "amal", Bash tries to execute a command called name with the arguments = and "amal", which will result in a command not found error. Therefore, you should always remember to exclude any spaces when assigning a value to a variable in Bash.
He is not joking! Bash Scripting changed my life! I worked in a small TV studio. My job was easily to automate, and repetitive. I've done it with bash and my work got reduced from 14h to about 2 or 3! Now I'm working for an electronics company! With bash I've made a simple script to fill out some field from websites we order parts! Now ordering just means copy just 1 number and paste it in the browser! It use to be very time consuming and annoying!.. Now with bash again, I am writing a simple database/RFID scanner! This will get rid of using paper labels in my company and make everything more easily to find. I love Bash Scripting!
Being a programmer for 4 years now, I've never been so excited about defining variables!
I agree with you 😂
haha, same dude. I've coded all these years and somehow this was so exciting.
So true😂
It's like python?
I really like this guy, he is a great teacher.
Thank you!

I've just started about a week ago to learn how to code (I'm learning Python and so far I'm not all that deep in, however I have learned a lot of concepts) I thought I wasn't getting anywhere in programming and was moping around today feeling kind of let down by the zero progress, I still can only write basic "print" commands with a few little bit more advanced lines of codes like "input".
Well when I clicked on this video wanting to know what Bash scripting is, you will never be able to understand the excitement I had knowing what variables were and how to use them. I know It's small and something that Isn't to big to get excited over but the happiness I felt knowing a concept like variables made me finally feel some sort of progress. Thank you very much for the boost in confidence today and I will definitely be looking into Bash scripting once I've progressed far enough.
Bash scripting is so awesome. I feel motivated to learn much more. Thank you for showing this.
First time I've ever understood bash scripting super clearly! Thanks!
This is by far the best bash tutorial I have ever watched. Very nice!
The beat part was passing the parameter directly, while running the script....
Good work!!!!
Keep it up
I'm compelled to hit like within 10 seconds just for the enthusiasm and passion you put into your work.
What I like the most about chuck videos is he reminds me to drink my coffee/tea which most of the time gets cold
Wow that's probably THE most enthusiastic intro to shell script I've ever seen! Good job!
I was sold in the first 30 second ..wow …what a delivery ….what an awesome video editing …
i like that you dont assume we are smart, and take time have patience, to try to explain to us
the dos and the donts so we get comparisons; and eventualities we eventually will run into, someone will.
to avoid or be aware of...
The quality in these vids is unreal. Thank you
I've 'Ben" looking for an exciing way to learn bash and commands in linux and this video is golden. You now have a new sub.
If only my teachers in programming class were as fun and knowledgeable as you, I would ace all my assignments and test. Great video btw
What!? That's already 14 mins?! I guess this proves that time flies fast if you love what you are doing and learning. Still you're a great speaker and that's also a big factor! More power!
Coming from a non-technical background and transitioning, you’ve made learning indefinitely easier, and fun bc of your personality and teaching style. Never change ✊🏾
All we need in our life much coffee and much more Chuck! You are awesome, thx for all your video, God bless you!!
Oh wow glad I placed this in my watch later list. I've been bashing only when I needed to, like putting all of my captured picture from my IP Camera, upload it on an ftp server, create a folder that has a name of yesterday's date, transfer all the pictures there. Or print my hardware sentinel status in a text file, upload it to a box webdav service and each week zip all of the files to archive them just so I can check the status of my hard drives on the go. But I never thought or bother to figure out how to do bash's version of scanf(in C) or input(in Python) and all that jazz. Glad I found this video.
I couldn't stop myself from writing this comment, Mr Chuck You're an awesome teacher!
Thank you Chuck!!! I'm new to this and with your videos, I really feel more comfortable moving forward in this IT journey.
Honestly you are one of the best tech contact creators on TH-cam right now keep going chuckkk
Hey hey just found your channel, i am Frontend software dev, and I've been looking to add bash scripting to my skill bucket, so far this first vide i just watched was fantastic!
You're the best, dude!! Bash scripting is finally starting to go my way, all thanks to you. 👏👏👏
Dude, you took a topic that has intimidated me for hte longest and made it so easy. Liked and subscribed. Thank you
Hey Chuck I'm new to Linux and your method of teaching absolute beginners the wonders of shell scripting is amazing keep them videos coming bro.
you the best teacher every time i follow up on your tutorial i get excitement , thank you
you sound so excited about bash scripting. its getting me hyped about creating variables
have to pause for a moment for praising the amazing guy and teacher i've ever met!!!
🎉This was a clear & fun approach that I needed to better understand scripting. Thanks Network Chuck
Calming voice, nice explanations. I watched this even though I already know about this. Just because it was so relaxing to follow your tutorial. :)
Your energy in this particular video was extra contagious!! 😀
Regardings variable declaration, the best/correct way to do it is with the {}, like, ${name}… it will avoid any naming mismatch by mistake!
In Bash, variable assignments should not have any spaces surrounding the equal sign (=). So the correct syntax for assigning a value to a variable in Bash is:
name="amal"
Without any spaces around the equal sign.
In your example, $name = "amal", Bash tries to execute a command called name with the arguments = and "amal", which will result in a command not found error.
Therefore, you should always remember to exclude any spaces when assigning a value to a variable in Bash.
Thanks for making seemingly boring things, interesting and exciting! And easy to understand for noobs!
He is not joking! Bash Scripting changed my life!
I worked in a small TV studio. My job was easily to automate, and repetitive. I've done it with bash and my work got reduced from 14h to about 2 or 3!
Now I'm working for an electronics company! With bash I've made a simple script to fill out some field from websites we order parts! Now ordering just means copy just 1 number and paste it in the browser! It use to be very time consuming and annoying!..
Now with bash again, I am writing a simple database/RFID scanner! This will get rid of using paper labels in my company and make everything more easily to find.
I love Bash Scripting!
