UofT-DSI | Shell - Assignment 1

[YariShukla]

What changes are you trying to make? (e.g. Adding or removing code, refactoring existing code, adding reports)

Updated the assignment.sh script to automate the organization of client data files. The script now creates the required data directories, moves raw data into the correct location, organizes server/user/event log files, removes files containing IP addresses, and generates a data inventory file.

What did you learn from the changes you have made?

I learned how to use Bash commands for file and directory management, including creating directories, moving and copying files, deleting files, and generating file lists. I also learned how to use Git branches, commits, and pull requests to manage code changes.

Was there another approach you were thinking about making? If so, what approach(es) were you thinking of?

I considered manually organizing the files, but using Bash scripting makes the process automated, repeatable, and easier for team members to use.

Were there any challenges? If so, what issue(s) did you face? How did you overcome it?

I faced challenges with understanding file paths and ensuring the script worked from the correct directory. I overcame these issues by testing the script locally, checking directory structures, and using Git commands to track my changes.

How were these changes tested?

The script was tested locally by running:

bash assignment.sh

The created directories and file organization were checked to confirm the script worked as expected.
