How to combine multiple bash commands into a single line in the console so that they execute sequentially?

Answer from AI

Commands are separated by a semicolon ;.

command1; command2; command3

Or using the && operator for sequential execution only if the previous command was successful.

command1 && command2 && command3

You can use || to execute the next command if the previous one failed.

command1 || command2 || command3

For combining:

command1 && command2 || command3

Here, command2 will execute only if command1 is successful, and command3 if command2 failed.

Using parentheses () creates a subshell for executing commands:

(command1; command2) && command3

In this case, command3 will execute only if both commands inside the parentheses succeed.
