  The new guide is part of the Bash Academy, an initiative I started a while back to make a central location for a much more guided / academic approach to learning bash. The guide is pure HTML which sets is free from a bunch of constraints imposed by the wiki. I'm also planning an interactive mode and a "bash game" to learn all the ways in which bash can go wrong in an interactive sandboxed session. You'll notice the approach/language of the new guide is also very different from that of the old - it wouldn't be possible to do that with the current guide without essentially rewriting it. I think if you give the new guide a read, it should become quickly obvious how it's different and that this is not something the current guide could simply have "evolved into".   The new guide is part of the Bash Academy, an initiative I started a while back to make a central location for a much more guided / academic approach to learning bash.

- Hey Todd, I've noticed your interest in improving the bash guide. Are you interested in going through the guide at <http://guide.bash.academy>? Lhunath

  • Just read this, so sorry if replay is late. If you don't mind me asking, why was a new guide started? — Todd Partridge.
