Find a way to suppress extra echo and cat commands #93

Closed gvwilson closed 5 years ago

gvwilson commented 6 years ago

We sometimes have to pad solutions with echo or cat to prevent the shell from getting stuck, but when learners display solutions, those extra commands confuse them. Similarly, when we want the user to use nano, we have to use cp or something like it to create the file. We've documented this by adding comments to solutions, but it's still generating a lot of complaints.

So far I've had 8 students reach out about exercises that can't be completed, or where the solution doesn't match the instructions (circumventing the nano issue). Cc @bakera81

A student that reached out previously sent a follow up email insisting on a fix to complete the exercises and be able to remove the course from the list of courses in progress.
