NOTE
- What is jq? jq is a command-line JSON processor - think of it as "sed for JSON data."
- Main uses:
Parse JSON - Extract specific values from JSON responses Format JSON - Make ugly/minified JSON readable (pretty-printing) Filter data - Get only the parts you need from large JSON files Transform data - Convert JSON structure, rename fields, etc.
- What is .bashrc? .bashrc is a configuration file that runs every time you start a new bash shell session.
