Bash Helpers
Arcane incantations that we're tired of remembering how to do in Bash will end up here. Include me as a submodule in whenever you're writing shell scripts.
Patches welcome!
Installing
Simply install with make!
# make install
If you'd like to install it to a different PREFIX simply specify one on the
make command-line (or in your environment):
$ PREFIX="$HOME/.local" make install
Using in your scripts!
You can use the bash helpers in two ways:
- As a Git submodule
- From Bash's
$PATHenvironment variable.
As a Git submodule
$ git submodule add https://github.com/targetdisk/bash-util.git
From your scripts you can now source the .bash files relative to the bash-util
directory in your tree.
From Bash's PATH
If you followed along with the Installing section you should have installed
the helpers somewhere in your environment's $PATH. If so, you should now be
able to write scripts like:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
. logging.bash
die "I am dead now!"
echo "I never execute!"
Or even run this in your Bash shell:
$ . env.bash && add_path "$HOME/.local/bin"
