Execute bash script from URL

What is Bash?

Bash is a "Unix shell": a command line interface for interacting with the operating system. It is widely available, being the default shell on many GNU/Linux distributions and on Mac OSX, with ports existing for many other systems. It was created in the late 1980s by a programmer named Brian Fox, working for the Free Software Foundation. It was intended as a free software alternative to the Bourne shell (in fact, its name is an acronym for Bourne Again SHell), and it incorporates all features of that shell, as well as new features such as integer arithmetic and job control

Shell scripting

In addition to the interactive mode, where the user types one command at a time, with immediate execution and feedback, Bash (like many other shells) also has the ability to run an entire script of commands, known as a "Bash shell script" (or "Bash script" or "shell script" or just "script"). A script might contain just a very simple list of commands — or even just a single command — or it might contain functions, loops, conditional constructs, and all the other hallmarks of imperative programming. In effect, a Bash shell script is a computer program written in the Bash programming language.

Shell scripting is the art of creating and maintaining such scripts. Shell scripts can be called from the interactive command-line described above; or, they can be called from other parts of the system. One script might be set to run when the system boots up; another might be set to run every weekday at 2:30 AM; another might run whenever a user logs into the system.

Bash from URL

Most recently it's become the most convenient process to execute bash script from URL. Where scripts were hosted in an centralized server, any client could access and execute it using HTTP. It's little bit tricky but very much easy to update, maintains and execute from a Centralized HTTP Server. In case of backward compatibility can maintains the version using this Server. For example:

Chorke, Inc. need to maintains a big size of Open Source Community. It's community demand to keep them up to date with the CI(Continuous Integration) and CD(Continuous Deployment). By which it will be reduce the difficulties, simplified teamwork and contribution to Chorke, Inc.. This community challenges overcomes by the of it's official bash script page as following:

# using curl from http://cdn.chorke.org/bash
bash <(curl -s   'http://cdn.chorke.org/bash/zend/pull')

# using wget from http://cdn.chorke.org/bash
bash <(wget -qO- 'http://cdn.chorke.org/bash/zend/pull')

Most of Bash script from URL guide you to use the convention as below. It's good enough for none interactive mode. If you are interested to use your script should interactive then you should follow the instruction as above.

# using curl from http://cdn.chorke.org/bash
curl -s   'http://cdn.chorke.org/bash/zend/pull' | bash

# using wget from http://cdn.chorke.org/bash
wget -qO- 'http://cdn.chorke.org/bash/zend/pull' | bash
