Bashing The Bash [Season 1 Episode 0] || The Epic prologue - Introduction and setting up Ubuntu VM

Hello there ladies and gentlemen,

This is a new series that I have concocted called Bashing the Bash. In the following episodes we will look at building some interesting and even scripts.

This series will follow a sort of a tutorial structure but I hope that by writing scripts that I have written and use personally it wont be as monotonous as some of the other ( probably better lol ) tutorials out there.

Plan for upcoming episodes is: Episode 1 - shortcut manager script for cd called cs Episode 2 - finish off cs Episode 3 - mounting hard drives reliably with support for luks, veracrypt Episode 4 - Hollywood hacker suicide script ( for fun ) .... this will be fairly long so might split it up into more than one episode. Episode 5 - ? need to come up with something.

With the help of powerline the old rust bucket shell is transformed into a gleaming impenetrable fortress of pure eye candy ( and git visual support very handy ).

"Vim" cries the wanderer, "vim is my weapon of choice" exclaims he with bulging eyes while wielding the slippery python3 in one hand and bashing its head with the power of powerline in the other hoping to produce a most potent mixture known to man.

After a quick copy from another machine ( see .vimrc bellow ). "It is ready my child", weeps the wanderer as the text editor springs open with life and colour and line numbers on the side. Epic stuff..

Just as we were about to set off on a journey of knowledge and no return. The wanderer noticed that the machine was missing a critical component, without which versioning would not be possible, unused code would have began to stack like moldy pancakes in a zombie apocalypse or something of the sort. "GIT" screeched the wanderer and swiftly whipped out the good old sudo apt install "hu hu hu, where would I be without you my old friend", the wanderer sighed in relief as he felt the nostalgic breeze travel down from his finger tips onto the cold lifeless flesh of the mechanical keys.

And with that the wanderer is fully prepared for what is to ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK7QXBP4olE
