How do I paste multi-line bash codes into terminal

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.

Answer 1

In addition to backslash, if a line ends with | or && or ||, it will be continued on the next line.

Answer 2

To prevent a long line of commands in a text file, I keep my copy-pase snippets like this:

echo a;\
echo b;\
echo c

Answer 3

Try putting \ at the end of each line before copying it.

Answer 4

Try this way:

echo $( 
    cmd1
    cmd2
    ...
)
