This one is a tribute to all the shell programmers out there.
Of late, I’ve been having to deal with a lot of shell-scripts, mostly as part of my academic pursuits. And it’s fun you know, when you really get to know the power of shells..!
However, despite all the fun, I was somehow irritated at having to write down the hashbang everytime I create a new script. And on top of that, I would also have to chmod the file to give it the execute permissions. Blame it on the fact that I mostly use IDEs like NetBeans and Android Studio among others that do half the work for you, like adding in all the placeholders, parentheses, imports etc. Frankly speaking, having to write the hashbang everytime I create the shell script was kind of annoying.
