This is how I wrote a short snippet to open read-only postgres connection using psql. Notice the amount of non-trivial stuff in those lines (technically, only one line of code).
I tried to show many concepts in those short snippets I post around here.
- For example, notice how some lines need backslashes to continue the line, but some others not.
- Also notice how to use <() to create a temporary file, so we don't have to have a duplicate file (probably outdated).
- The command being a "cat originalfile && echo "customline") makes it a fresh file each time, that inherits from your originalfile.
- Finally, good old "$@" to proxy the parameters to another command.
in zsh, you can add "compdef ropsql=psql" so it also proxies the autocompletion
