Step 1: Setting the Stage

Before we dive into the CLI magic, let's start by creating a dedicated directory for our script. Open your terminal and execute the following command:

mkdir ~/scripts && cd ~/scripts

This command establishes a clean workspace for our Docker volume management script, ensuring a systematic and organized approach.

Step 2: Crafting the Docker Volume Deletion Script

Now that our workspace is set up, let's delve into the creation of your very own Docker volume deletion script. We'll be using the nano text editor for simplicity. Execute the following command in your terminal:

nano ~/scripts/docker-delete-volumes

This command opens up the nano editor and creates a new file named docker-delete-volumes within your scripts directory. Here, you can harness the power of nano to input the script that will streamline the often cumbersome process of Docker volume deletion.

Pro Tip: If you're new to nano, here are some basic commands to navigate within the editor:

Save Changes: Press Ctrl + O, then press Enter.
Exit: Press Ctrl + X.
Undo: Press Ctrl + Shift + _ (underscore).

Step 3: Write your Docker Volume Deletion Script

Here is the complete content of the script. Copy paste it inside the ~/scripts/docker-delete-volumes file
