How do I paste multi-line bash codes into terminal and run it all at once

Question

I need to paste a multi-line bash code into terminal  but whenever I do  each line gets run as a separate command as soon as it gets pasted

Try putting   at the end of each line before copying it  Example  echo  quot Hello world quot   amp  amp    script b sh  echo     The exit code      is now the full sequence of commands  and not just the last command

I m really surprised this answer isn t offered here  I was in search of a solution to this question and I think this is the easiest approach  and more flexible forgiving     If you d like to paste multiple lines from a website text editor etc   into bash  regardless of whether it s commands per line or a function or entire script    simply start with a   and end with a   and Enter  like in the following example   If I had the following blob  function hello       echo Hello    hello   You can paste and verify in a terminal using bash by    Starting with    Pasting your text  and pressing Enter  to make it pretty     or not Ending with a   and pressing Enter   Example   imac   home    function hello    gt      echo Hello   gt     gt  hello  gt    Hello  imac   home     The pasted text automatically gets continued with a prepending  gt  for each line  I ve tested with multiple lines with commands per line  functions and entire scripts  Hope this helps others save some time
