I am using shell inside emacs. Often I need to execute a series of shell commands around ~40 chars, as of now I copy all the commands together and paste it from documentation. Is there any way to save all these commands in emacs and execute in few keystroks.

One option is, define a keyboard macro and save it. But how can a define a keyboard macro from a text. I dont want to define a keyboard macro by typing each command letter by letter.

Any ideas?

I am using emacs 27.2 with spacemacs thanks for the help
