Jamf Pro - Scripting

[BenIdrissi]

Hi,

I come from a company that have a small group of MAC users. We are using Jamf Pro to administrate these Macs.
When it comes to scripting, I'm completely new, no experience at all. So my question is, which script "language" do you recommend me to learn for Jamf Pro? please have in mind that, I do not have any experience with scripting.

I appreciate your help.

Bash (Shell Script) will be the easiest to learn and help you the most when it comes to jamf.

With bash you’ll be able to customize various things (like installing packages or updates)

Here’s a website that will help you get the hang of bash https://ryanstutorials.net/bash-scripting-tutorial/

Here’s my GitHub with a few scripts that I use in the jamf instances where I work at

Good luck!

@BenIdrissi you might want to get a decent text editor too...most of us use BBedit ($50) or Atom.

Whatever do, don't ask for advice on UNIX editors...#ducking

@donmontalvo 🐓<tongueincheek>Everybody knows the the best *nix editor is nano. </tongueincheek>

Still +1 for BBEdit.

P.S. What, no vim?
