PBS 145 of X — Shell Conditionals
Bart continues his miniseries on shell scripting by teaching us conditionals in the shell. In order to explain why conditionals are a bit odd in shell scripting, Bart first walks us through how it was originally done and then shows us the evolution to a much better method. It's still weird, and many things are opposite of what you'd expect (like 4 is actually > 10), but he gets us there in the end. I was most excited to finally learn what `fi` means, which shows up in shell scripting and I'd seen before in AppleScript. You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net.
