bash_aliases

A simple collection of bash profiles and other config files that enhance my dev environment via aliases, a nice git-status prompt, and some tmux settings.

TODO

• switch to https://github.com/alichtman/shallow-backup

usage

1. Download git completion and move it to your home dir.

   ./fetch-git-completion-and-prompt.sh

2. Copy files to your home dir.

   ./copy-to-home-dir.sh

   Don't worry it'll ask before overwriting.

   Alternatively you can just manually cp -i <some_file> ~/ to manually copy any .bash_xxx or other config to your home dir.

3. Either source ~/.bash_profile or just open a new terminal

From here on out you can simply reprofile to source ~/.bash_profile

contributing

From this repo you can run ./copy-from-home-dir.sh to copy (interactively) a whitelisted set of settings files into this repo.

As mentioned in the usage section, you can ./copy-to-home-dir.sh to copy common settings files from this repo to your home dir. Coupled with reprofileing this can allow for rapid development and testing.

When you're ready to submit your changes, go ahead and ./push-update.sh to automatically pack up your local changes and kickstart opening a PR to the repo.

git-completion

Some of these files depend on git-completion.bash and git-prompt.sh from git's source code. Instead of adding a rather large and unnecessary submodule to this project, I just wrote a simple script to curl the 2 files to this directory and move them under your home dir :)
