Which was the point here, wasn't it? Script files that you will be commonly running and only editing rarely, I'd optimize for how easy they are to run, not operate other commands on them from within a shell.
- ndsipa_pomu 9mo agoNaming a file with a "-" as the first character means you have to be careful to use "--" with commands to signify the end of options as otherwise the filename will be interpreted as being additional options with unexpected results. e.g. ls -l -- * Even when you're not deliberately operating on the commands, it's too easy to get caught out by it with wildcards etc.
- necovek 9mo agoSure, but this would be contained to when your CWD is ~/bin or ~/.local/bin (or wherever you put your "-" scripts in).
- ndsipa_pomu 9mo agoYes, but it doesn't make it a good idea to leave potential traps lying around even if they're in a different room.
