ABOUT BASH CARDS
Scan a card, run a task. Bash Cards are QR-driven script actions for terminal workflows.
What It Is
Each card stores a focused Bash action: setup, diagnostics, automation, or tooling.
How It Works
Use a scanner, decode the QR payload, review if needed, then execute in your shell.
Why Use It
Faster repeatable operations, less typing, fewer mistakes, and easy handoff between operators.
Payload Size
Best for small scripts. Use bootstrap loaders when a workflow needs larger remote payloads.

Q&A / Extended Notes
What Is Bash and a Shell?
Bash is the common Linux shell. A shell is the command interface used to control the system.
What Is an Interpreter?
Bash reads and executes .sh scripts line-by-line, without a separate compile step.
What Is Side-Loading / Sneakernet?
Side-loading runs outside package repos; Sneakernet moves data physically. Printed QR cards support both approaches.
Largest QR / Capacity
Version 40 (177x177) supports roughly 2,953 bytes binary or 4,296 alphanumeric characters.
What Should Be in Cards?
Training scripts, admin tasks, diagnostics, config helpers, security workflows, and repeatable automation.
