Deobfuscate your bash

Who hasn't written some read-only magical Bash voodoo, only to find you need to decrypt your own creation later on? Luckily, Explain Shell can help with that. Here's an example from my .bash_history file:

for fn in *; do echo cat $fn | sed "s|' '$URL'||g" | sed "s|curl -X POST -d '||g" ; done

And Explain Shell's explanation: it's no substitute for knowing Bash but it sure helps.

Bonus: while reading my bash history file, I realized I accidentally copy&paste a lot of code to my terminals. There are way too many "template <FOO>" entries in there...

Bonus II: It's a good thing they wrote "shell" in a different color. I was wondering why I had "explains hell" in my bookmarks.
