Bash is a Unix shell and command language written by Brian Fox for the GNU Project as a free software replacement for the Bourne shell. Released in 1989, it has been distributed widely as the shell for the GNU operating system and as a default shell on Linux and OS X.
In 2015 Prospect One, under the management of Dmitriy Akulov, was asked to design a new logo for Bash, after which 30,000 people voted for the best iteration. You can download the official bash logo below
The SQLite Database Engine provides a lightweight C library to access database files using a large subset of SQL92 without the overhead of RDBMS server processes. In order to use that functionality as a desktop database I wrapped the SQLite library into an ODBC driver.
So far it has been tested with SQLite 2.8.17 and SQLite 3.43.2 on Windows (>= NT/2000) in MS Excel 97 (MSQUERY) with SQLite database files created on Linux. Support for Win64 exists for both SQLite 2.x and SQLite 3.x versions of the driver. It also runs on Linux with unixODBC 2.[0-2].x and with libiodbc 3.[05].x.
In the fall of 2013, thinking about text utilities got me thinking in turn about how my writing habits depend on the Linux command line. This seems like a good hook for explaining some tools I use every day, so now I’m writing a short, haphazard book.
This isn’t a book about system administration, writing complex software, or becoming a wizard. I am not a wizard, and I don’t subscribe to the idea that wizardry is required to use these tools. In fact, I barely know what I’m doing most of the time. I still get some stuff done.
This is a work in progress. It probably gets some stuff wrong.
shUnit2 is a xUnit unit test framework for Bourne based shell scripts, and it is designed to work in a similar manner to JUnit, PyUnit, etc. If you have ever had the desire to write a unit test for a shell script, shUnit2 can do the job.
