What bash scripts are you writing that you expect to run on both a Mac laptop and a production linux server? You can install the newer bash if that's what you're used to, but you're surely going to run into issues like
ls . -lahfar quicker than differences in bash since 3.2Even on a linux desktop you're going to have differences from a production server, you'd want to be using something like ansible, or replicating production in a local test environment in a container or VM. Exactly like you have done.
