Answer from AI
In Bash, you can execute multiple commands on one line using special separators:
;— execute commands sequentially, regardless of the previous command's result.&&— execute the next command only if the previous one succeeded (exit code 0).||— execute the next command only if the previous one failed (exit code not 0).
Examples:
# Execute command1, then command2 regardless of the result
command1; command2
# Execute command2 only if command1 was successful
command1 && command2
# Execute command2 only if command1 failed
command1 || command2
