How to create an environment variable that the output of a command
How do I create an environment variable that is the result of a specific command?
Specifically, I want an environment variable ($BWD) that is the basename of $PWD
cd /home/devel/Autils/lib
echo $PWD #prints /home/devel/Autils/lib
echo $BWD # prints lib
environment-variables alias
