From a cursory glance at the BASH one it seems pretty well organized and thorough. It is not overloaded with information, but gives a good overview of what's possible.
Some specific things I noticed in the BASH book: it says this about cp:
> -a … Combines the d, p and r options
But it doesn't show what -r means.
It could benefit from better discussion of using if without brackets with [] and with [[]]-It discusses them, but I wish it gave better insight on when to use them.
All in all, very handy reference material and I will be grabbing a few more to have on hand.
- bewuethr 9y agoAs somebody who contributed quite a bit to Bash Stack Overflow documentation, I have to say that I consider it a total train wreck. Before (or rather, instead of) touching this, I highly recommend reading something like the BashGuide (http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide) for anybody who looks to get started with Bash. Even later, as a reference, SO Documentation isn't that useful, in my opinion.
