So I have written a bashscript.sh file to check if a directory project1_repo is empty after cloning a project.

I have written four different functions to authenticate it but all the time I get command not found error. I have checked multiple times if there is a syntax error but in vain. Could someone please help me out? Thanks.

EDIT: Previously due to a typo project1_install_dir was called colsim1_install_dir but the edited version is correct.

#!/bin/bash
#path to install project1
function project1_install_dir() { while true; do read -p "Enter FULL folder path where you want to install project1:" fullpath echo "you have enterd $fullpath. Please press 'y' to confirm and 'n' to enter again" read -p "Continue? (Y/N): " confirm if [[ $confirm =~ ^([yY][eE][sS]|[yY])$ ]]; then break else continue fi
done }
#clone project1
function clone_project1_repo() { git clone example git . }
# four functions to Check whether cloning is successful
# function 1
function success_of_cloning_of_project1_repo3() { if find $fullpath/project1/project1_repo -mindepth 1 | read; then echo "dir not empty" else echo "dir empty" fi
}
# function 2
function success_of_cloning_of_project_repo2() {
DIR="$fullpath/project1/project1_repo"
if [ -n "$(ls -A $DIR)" ]; then echo "Take action $DIR is not Empty"
else echo "$DIR is Empty"
fi
}
# function 3
function success_of_cloning_of_project_repo1() {
if [ -d $fullpath/project1/project1_repo ]; then [ -n "$(ls -A $fullpath/project1/project1_repo)" ] && echo "Not Empty" || echo "Empty"
else :
fi }
# function 4
function success_of_cloning_of_project_repo() {
while true; do if [ -n "$(ls -A $fullpath/project1/project1_repo)" ]; then echo "cloning of project1_repo is successful" break else echo "cloning of project1_repo is NOT successful." continue fi done
}
#calling the functions function main() { project1_install_dir success_of_cloning_of_project1_repo3 success_of_cloning_of_project1_repo2 success_of_cloning_of_project1_repo1 success_of_cloning_of_project1_repo } main

Terminal output:

jen@ex343:tdk/jen$ source bash_file_test.sh
Enter FULL folder path where you want to install project1:/tdk/jen
you have enterd /tdk/jen. Please press 'y' to confirm and 'n' to enter again Continue? (Y/N): y You have chosen yes

Pasting your code into reports:

$ shellcheck myscript
Line 7: read -p "Enter FULL folder path where you want to install project1:" fullpath ^-- SC2162: read without -r will mangle backslashes.
Line 9: read -p "Continue? (Y/N): " confirm ^-- SC2162: read without -r will mangle backslashes.
Line 26: if find $fullpath/project1/project1_repo -mindepth 1 | read; then ^-- SC2086: Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting. ^-- SC2162: read without -r will mangle backslashes.
Did you mean: (apply this, apply all SC2086) if find "$fullpath"/project1/project1_repo -mindepth 1 | read; then
Line 36:
if [ -n "$(ls -A $DIR)" ]; then ^-- SC2086: Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting.

You can follow the suggestion to use "$fullpath" and any other recommendations in comments above. After fixing current errors ShellCheck reports, it may then report additional errors when you run it again.
