Why should I use a sudo alternative?

-g is not documented, what does it do?

Note: this made me discover topless (SFW) and its Caveat section.

From your example, I have a hard time inferring what is it doing.

--single-branch

Most of the time the fix is: put quotes around your strings (especially when they may contains globing patterns). Sometimes its using newer syntax available in bash but not on the snippet.

I only have to “quotes” strings that contains globs. The rest mostly work or use the newer/recommanded way to do things for posix shells.

But I must admit, I only use it interactively. For scripts I #!/bin/{,ba}sh. I will use something else once it won some/most the distro preinstalls (either nu, elvish, fish, but for now it’s sadly python).

I think some peoples developped an allergy to projects being (re-)written in rust. Not sure why.

I don’t know elvish, but I can’t get into nu. It is too different than what I learned (bash). I’m not sure I understand what they want to accomplish… Maybe I’m not the target, I use the shell to start commands as a dev, not as a devops or data guy…

I also had a hard time using fish the first time I tried it. But since the version on Debian 10 I re-tried and now the only thing to know is “put the arguments in quotes if you want the command to do globbing”. With that you can use 99% of the commands you find on internet as is.

I used Kresus some times ago on a server. It was nice, but my bank don’t play nice and it is not my thing to manage like that.

It should auto import and… I did not follow developments so don’t remember the functionalities.
