Overview
As my work with shell scripts progresses, I've noticed an increase in repeated code blocks. More and more I'm having to keep the same code updated in several places. The solution, centralize duplicate code into one or more library files.
Spending a little time converting duplicate code into functions isn't too hard, plus it can improve the readability and reliability of more complex projects. Large chunks of logic can be hidden away and called upon as often as necessary. All that's required is to source the library file in any scripts that need it.
Usage
- Copy libkm.sh to the root of your project directory.
- Source libkm.sh at the top of your shell script:
# sourcing the library file
source libkm.sh
