Finally found the answer here:

using markdown is outdated, its not as easy as just using Gist haha, think I'll keep that route... they should really work on their tools.

What is the best way to paste code into a Trello card?
I'm setting up a new machine (well actually, an Ubuntu VM) and am trying to write a script to setup a few common things that I use when doing this (Git, curl, vim + janus). 

So my script looks a bit like this:

#setup
#!/bin/sh
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install curl
...


It doesn't seem great to have 'sudo' mixed in with my command -- that is just my security-spidey-sense tingling. It seems like something like the following might also work:

sudo setup


Is there a better way to do this? What are your rules of thumb when you write scripts and need elevated permissions?
