> Certain types of code should not be thoughtlessly copy/pasted, and providing multiline `$` prompts enforce that the user copy/pastes line by line. I hardcore oppose this kind of thing, for the same reason I oppose people putting obstacles in the way of curl-to-bash. Adding the prompt character doesn’t make people think, it just makes people press backspace. Frequently I’m reading a tutorial because I’m trying to assemble headless scripts for setting up a VM and I really just need verbatim lines I can copy/paste so I know I’ve got the right arguments. |
