Introduction

------------

`RunInBash` is a simple tool designed to make running Linux applications easier and faster under WSL. `RunInBash` simply runs whatever you type after it under a bash shell and pipes the output back to the parent command line. No need to worry about nested quotes, escaping arguments, or anything else! [Read more about `$` and `RunInBash` in the official release notes on our blog](https://neosmart.net/blog/2017/meet-your-new-best-friend-for-wsl/). Binary releases [are available for download on neosmart.net](https://neosmart.net/RunInBash/). `RunInBash` captures the exit code of the executed command and bubbles it back up to the caller, making writing complex scripts containing both Windows and Linux commands easy.

## Installation

Just copy `RunInBash.exe` to your PATH. For best results, we recommend renaming it `$.exe`, allowing you to run any Linux command by simply prefixing it with `$`, e.g. `$ ifconfig` or `$ git status`.

An automated installer will be arriving in a future update shortly.

And an example of escaping magic at work:



	C:\Users\NeoSmart>$ printf "It's just like \"%s\"!" magic

	It's just like "magic"!

And here's how `RunInBash` can make advanced `(bash|power)`shell scripting pure joy:
