- You need to use backslashes (`\`) to escape your grave accents (``` ` ```). Otherwise, Bash tries to see them as enclosing a command, as you would do in a command like ``` echo `which python3` ```.
- So, with all the backslashes added in, your code will look like this:
- ```bash
- find . -name "*.py" -print0 | while read -d $'\0' file; do
echo "\`"echo "$file"echo "\`"- echo "\`\`\`python"
- cat "$file"
- echo "\`\`\`"
- echo
- done > all_code.md
- ```
- It now successfully outputs the Markdown to `all_code.md`.
