How to write bash scripts: Automating steps in data analysis to make them more reproducible (CC018)

In this screencast tutorial, Pat Schloss shows how you can use scripts written in the bash language to execute steps in a data analysis workflow. Today we'll use bash to automate steps that we previously did manually to improve the reproducibility of our analysis. Being able to write these types of scripts will be critical as we determine the degree to which inter- and intra-genomic variation limit the interpretation of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs; aka exact sequence variants or ESVs).
Pat demonstrates these concepts by live coding at the command line interface using RStudio, GitHub Flow, and make. He then turns viewers loose to work through several activities to answer related questions and finishes by giving his solutions.
