"Why did you not post that earlier?"

I was on a phone. I don't like posting code, any code, that I can't test.

I am posting this now, with screenshots instead of code in the post, because I have written and tested this. I sometimes forget to test the code examples I post, but I am trying not to.

"Why are you nagging about this stuff?"

I think that shell is dangerous and I see a lot of recommendations for shellcheck, "learn to write bash" courses and similar. Don't.
