Overview

In this workshop you will be building an interactive shell script that presents choices to a user (like a select element in HTML or radio button group), accepts user input (like an input field in HTML) and make web requests with curl.

When we're done, you will have an interactive bash script that will automate the process of creating a git repository, connecting it with Github, and having the appropriate .gitignore file created for the project type.

How to Run Your Script

Make the file executable first with the following command.

chmod +x example.sh

Then run it with the following command.

./example.sh
