GNU Bash is a wonderful tool that many use every day, it executes commands typed into the terminal and is also a scripting language. The FSF tech team has a healthy drive to master their craft, and so, toward this end, they recently published an FSF Tech Team Bash Style Guide. Check it out at https://u.fsf.org/41y and read more about the tech team's recent work: https://u.fsf.org/41z #GNUBash #Bash #Manuals #LearnLibre

Of the FSF's participation in the CFC, executive director Zoë Kooyman said, "We're happy to have this direct channel for federal employees and retirees, we know many of you care about the rights of software users. By donating even a small amount per paycheck to the FSF, it makes a big difference and helps us advance the free software movement." Donors can pledge until the end of the campaign period on January 15, 2024. https://u.fsf.org/41q #CFC #FederalEmployees #FreeSoftware
