• To assign a variable, use = without space

• To use a variable, simply add $ before it

• set -x Show what’s executed

• $0 - Name of the script

• $1 to $9 - Arguments to the script. $1 is the first argument and so on.

• $@ - All the arguments

• $# - Number of arguments

• $? - Return code of the previous command

• $$ - Process identification number (PID) for the current script

• !! - Entire last command, including arguments. A common pattern is to execute a command only for it to fail due to missing permissions; you can quickly re-execute the command with sudo by doing sudo !!

• $_ - Last argument from the last command. If you are in an interactive shell, you can also quickly get this value by typing Esc followed by . or Alt+.
