Helpful functions and scripts to aid in scripting and development

There were some pretty stupid issues that past me didn't fix! Now, there shouldn't be an extra bin inside of your $PREFIX's bin! |

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"
