Shell script to compile C/C++ files | Linux | bash

You are testing codes and programming using text editors like: vim, nano, vscode, sublime etc. Come with me!

Tired of using IDE's that are heavy, slow or that keep generating unnecessary files in your projects?

Want to test your algorithms in a cleaner and simpler way?

Using these text editors, I was running two commands in the terminal, for each code modification. This is work, and during development you waste time writing boydplat code. With that I developed a shellScript that runs these two commands automatically and also some extra commands like: clear the terminal and skip the line...

1°) Install GCC on the machine:

apt-get install gcc

Or see if GCC is already installed:

gcc --version

2°) Enter the folder where the C/C++ project is located

3°) Copy the script in .sh file inside the project folder! [shellc.sh] for C | [shellcpp.sh] for C++

4°) Then give execute permission to the file:

chmod +x arquivo.sh

5°) Ready, just run the shell by typing:

./arquivo.sh
