Web scraping and retrieve course information from terminal

Bash Version

The entire implementation is in ./core.sh. The only dependency is jq package, which should be pre-installed on most Mac and Linux machines.

Example

1. Copy the ut() function in ./core.sh to ~/.bash_profile (or other locations your shell has access to).
2. Restart shell.
3. Run ut eco499 in terminal. The query is not case-sensitive, executing ut ECO499 or ut eCo499 should give the same output.
4. Sample output:
