How to center text in Bash

Sometimes we might want to print some text in Bash and we might want it to be centered to the centre of the terminal. It is a cheap way how we can increase clarity of output of our script and make it look much more attractive.

The whole magic is hidden in a program called tput.

To get number of rows and cols of current terminal, we need just two simple shell substitutions:

    TERM_ROWS="$(tput rows)"

Start a stopped docker container in bash/shell interactive mode

Start a stopped docker container in bash/shell interactive mode

For instance, you have just pulled a CentOS or Ubuntu image using docker pull centos:latest or docker pull ubuntu:latest.

Your immediate command would be

# docker run -it centos:latest
# docker ps -a

Firing up LaTex on macOS 🔥

As I'm writing this small tutorial, I assume you've read my previous one about setting up macOS, so if for any tool I'll use without explanation, look to that other article.

MacTex

The full version IS NOT MANDATORY, as in the tutorial that follows I installed the smaller version of MacTeX and proceded installing every needed dependency. Installing the complete package is about ~3.5GB of download and ~5GB on disk, the smaller one is just about 80MBs.

Click here to download the complete version or here to download the smaller version.
