UofT-DSI | Unix Shell, Git & GitHub - Assignment 1 Complete assignment script

[francesbruno]

What changes are you trying to make? (e.g. Adding or removing code, refactoring existing code, adding reports)

Completed the missing Bash commands in 02_activities/assignments/assignment.sh using VS code.
(ie create and organize the data directory, move rawdata to data/raw, create processed subfolders for server, user, and event logs, copy the matching log files into the correct folders, remove files containing ipaddr, and generate data/inventory.txt.)

What did you learn from the changes you have made?

How to use basic Bash commands like mkdir, mv, cp, rm, ls, and find inside a script. Learned how to test a script from the mac Terminal, check whether the expected folders and files were created, and use Git commands like git add, git commit, and git push from the correct repository folder.

Was there another approach you were thinking about making? If so, what approach(es) were you thinking of?

Writing the folder creation and file-copying steps as multiple separate commands vs grouping some of them into shorter commands, like using mkdir -p to create nested folders in one line.

Were there any challenges? If so, what issue(s) did you face? How did you overcome it?

I got a little lost with understanding the difference between the Git repository folder and the newproject folder created by the script. At first, I tried to run Git commands from inside newproject, which caused path errors. I fixed this by going back to the main shell repository cd .. pwd ls and using the correct relative path: 02_activities/assignments/assignment.sh.

How were these changes tested?

I tested the script by running:
bash 02_activities/assignments/assignment.sh
