How to give password in shell script?

+2

−4

That's my Bash script:

#!bin/sh

cd qpixel
sudo systemctl enable mysql
mysql -u root -p
rails s

When it executes the line mysql -u root -p it will ask for password. To do so, I have tried with echo and print, but none of them works.

How can I input a password?
