Error in your post

I had to end up pasting the contents in a bash script and getting rid of some extraneous newlines at the beginning of the command to get it to work correctly.

I've run into this issue on every operation that I've tried and found that till it is fixed there's one good option. But first a possible solution.
Perhaps the browser prompt is using markdown rendering rules, in which case removing the syntax language from the triple backtick that opens the code block should fix this issue. See the second code block verses the first within this comment in raw
formatting mode.
Save browser's
copy
/past
to terminal text editor
nano /tmp/validate.sh
paste into the above new document, then correct mangled new-lines. Hint every line but the last should have an escape (
\
) at the end.change execution permission for the above file.
chmod 700 /tmp/validate.sh
### hey devs, special note for you all here. Looks like new lines (especially on mobile) get modified when
### using [```bash] for markdown rendering of code. This comment however didn't use [bash] or anything else but three back ticks to open and close
### so this comment should have a scroll bar at the bottom.
