A handy way to use CLI

Hello World

This project is a small collection of few bash hacks which can be used to make life easier for BASH user.

You can easily add any script directory and make it handy to use. It also features "dynamic autocompletion" of commands and subcommands list.

Basics

It isn't a "good to go" project, you might need to make changes in scripts to make them fit for you.

0. Clone the project in a directory.

1. Copy or link the bash_aliases.sh to ~/.bash_aliases, Source .bashrc by source ~/.bashrc OR add source ~/bash_aliases.sh in .bashrc

2. Add any script with extension .bash or .sh in custom.

3. You can execute script by mscript $script_name_without_ext or ms $script_name_without_ext

Example: ms robo

One liner ?

To install you can use one liner given below, It will install scripts in ~/.mscripts.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/m301/ModularScripts/master/install.sh | bash -s ~/.mscripts

Subcommand autocompletion

If you want your custom script to support autocompletion, Simply echo possible commands list if first argument is shortlist.

NOTE: For autocompletion your script should have extension .sh or .bash. Example:

if [ $1 = 'shortlist' ]; then 
    echo "command1 command2 command3"
    exit 0 
fi

# One liner
if [ $1 = 'shortlist' ]; then echo "command1 command2 command3"; exit 0; fi;
