**Body:**

Hi,

I’m working on the “Linux Basics for Robotics” rosject (Part 2 — Create Programs to Control the Robot). While trying to move two provided files (`robot_interface.py` and `simple_patrol.bash`) from `~/ros2_ws/src/` into my package folder `~/ros2_ws/src/linux_basics_project/src/`, I made a mistake with the `mv` command and accidentally overwrote `simple_patrol.bash` with the contents of `robot_interface.py`.

I was able to recover `robot_interface.py` by renaming it back, but the original content of `simple_patrol.bash` is now lost. There is no git repository in the workspace to restore it from (`git status` returns “not a git repository”).

Could someone please help me restore the original `simple_patrol.bash` file (the sample bash script for the Simple Patrol program), or point me to where I can download it again?

Thank you!

How did you get the contents on this file to begin with? How did you create it? You can just follow the same process again to recreate it.
