Bash says “No such file,” but the file exists

Inspect without changing

file deploy.sh
cat -v deploy.sh | head

If you see CRLF, ^M, or /bin/bash^M, line endings are the likely cause.

Repair only the target

sed -i 's/\r$//' deploy.sh

Then verify the shebang and executable permission. You can also invoke the interpreter explicitly with bash deploy.sh.

Success checks

• file no longer reports CRLF.
• cat -v shows no ^M.
• A minimal command runs before the full deployment is retried.
