Support Software & Applications

I use this link py for Import bash history to zsh history
but not working in manjaro

$ python bash-to-zsh-hist.py
  File "~/bash-to-zsh-hist.py", line 26
    command_list.each do |command|
                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Does anyone know where the problem is?

The script will not be magically converted into a python program by changing the file ending in .py. It is still a ruby script and of course ruby is not python.

Read the commends if you don’t want to use ruby, there are alternatives.

First find out what ruby is. Ruby Programming Language

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ruby

Then install the ruby package. You probably don’t need to install any additional gems. RubyGems are like modules in python.

After that read the header comment from bash_to_zsh_history.rb, it tells you how to run the ruby script.
