./missing-semester - Editors (Vim) - Ejercicio 3

• Editors (vim)
• Job Control
• Debugging

1. Download our basic vimrc and save it to ~/.vimrc. Read through the well-commented file (using Vim!), and observe how Vim looks and behaves slightly differently with the new config.

2. To practice using Vim, re-do the fizz buzz game from lecture on your own machine.

3. Use Vim for all your text editing for the next month. Whenever something seems inefficient, or when you think "there must be a better way", try Googling it, there probably is.

4. Start a sleep 10000 job in a terminal, background it with Ctrl-Z and continue its execution with bg. Now use pgrep to find its pid and pkill to kill it without ever typing the pid itself. (Hint: use the -af flags).

5. Say you don’t want to start a process until another completes. How would you go about it? In this exercise, our limiting process will always be sleep 60 &. One way to achieve this is to use the wait command. Try launching the sleep command and having an ls wait until the background process finishes.

6. Install shellcheck and try checking the following script. What is wrong with the code? Fix it. Install a linter plugin in your editor so you can get your warnings automatically.
