I'm at the level where any Bash book/guide/etc that wants my attention needs to prove that it's more useful than Greg's Wiki. Chances are, it isn't. https://m

Certainly there's a lot of stuff in common. I read every single article on Greg's Wiki a couple years before starting this book, and it's informed a lot of my opinions and understanding of the fundamentals of Bash. I do disagree with what seems to be the prevailing wisdom on Greg's Wiki on some points though. For example, I strongly support using errexit rather than trying to implement all the error handling yourself.
