Apple - How to run a shell script from an AppleScript?

To not get that error, you need to make myShellScript.sh executable.

In a Terminal, use the following command:

chmod u+x /path/to/file/myShellScript.sh

Also, you should add a shebang to the top of the script.

Example: #!/bin/bash

Note: Use the appropriate shebang for the shell you want to process your script.

If you do not want to make the script executable, although I can't see a reason one wouldn't want to, you can run it in AppleScript as in the following example:

do shell script "bash /path/to/file/myShellScript.sh"

Note: If you want to use sh over bash, just substitute it in the command and the shebang.

You can embed your shell script within AppleScript calling bash with a heredoc.

do shell script "/bin/bash -s <<'EOF'
cd /Users/myusername/Git/myproject/
/usr/bin/git remote remove orig
EOF"
