- rascul 5y agoThere have been some updates in the Github repo since then (https://github.com/tLDP/LDP/commits/master https://github.com/tLDP/LDP/commits/master) but I don't notice any new content. It was a great resource for me decades ago, but now I understand TLDP to be mostly old and stale (and sometimes arguably bad, such as the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide) and generally better sources can be easily found.
- _ZeD_ 5y agoWhat's bad about ABS? I remember I used that guide a lot back in the days
- rascul 5y agoLooking through the examples, I see lots of pitfalls such as unquoted variables, backticks, no error checking, and parsing ls. Also bash features such as [[ are ignored, and expr is sometimes used for what bash handles natively. Also there's a lot of new stuff that this old guide doesn't cover.
- wycy 5y agoAs someone who's not particularly great at bash, I don't know enough to know if a guide I'm looking at is teaching old/bad methods. Are there any notably good references for modern bash?
- rascul 5y agoI generally stick with the bash reference manual and Wooledge's wiki. Not sure how good they are for people unfamiliar with the material already. https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/index.html https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/index.htm... https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
