How to run multiple command sequentially?

Question

I am new to elementary OS. I usually use windows. In windows we can create batch file which can make several command run at command prompt by single click. How to do this in elementary OS?

Answer 1

You can make shell scripts to achieve this. A shell script usually starts with #!/bin/bash. Let's say you want to execute sudo apt update and ls but you don't want to type it every time. So a shell script for that is,

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt update
ls

Save it with ".sh" extension and execute sudo chmod +x file_name.sh to give the file executable permission. Then you can execute the script by ./file_name.sh.
