This is a bunch of shell scripts containing useful functions aiming to deliver increased productivity.
WARNING: This toolbox is under heavy development. Expect that things change.
Starting from a brand new laptop with only the base operating system installed, I would like to be able to quickly have my environment setup. Then I open a new terminal window and all remaining bits are automagically configured for me. I also would like to install complex software packages easily, employing just a single command. Then I'm ready to go. The entire thing should not take more than a few minutes.
- Useful shell scripts aiming daily mundane tasks, such as finding text on large codebases;
- Shell scripts for installing Java, Node, Scala, Rust, among a bunch of other things;
- One post installation script for sysadmins configuring a brand new laptop or server;
- One post installation script for regular users seeking Firefox and Thunderbird in user's space;
- Employs virtual environments in order to allow distinct versions of your preferred tools;
- All commands always available, no matter if you are using functions, sub-shells or whatever;
- Flexibility of a separate history per session but also a global history for all sessions.
- Debian or openSUSE. (contribute)
- Python version 3.4+ (why?)
This is how I install a powerful set of functions and commands into the shell:
$ mkdir -p "$HOME/workspace"
$ git -C "$HOME/workspace" clone http://github.com/frgomes/bash-scriptsThen add a call to $HOME/workspace/bash-scripts/bashrc into your $HOME/.bashrc:
$ echo 'source $HOME/workspace/bash-scripts/bashrc' >> $HOME/.bashrcOpen a new terminal session and enjoy!
- Opinionated post installation on system's space;
- Opinionated post installation on user's space;
The migration procedure may be entirely removed if I do not hear from users.
This release performs migration steps if necessary, in a best effort basis, trying to make life easier for users of the previous legacy branch. This is why you may see messages such the ones below when you start a new terminal session:
cp -vp "${HOME}"/.bashrc.scripts.before "${HOME}"/.local/share/bash-scripts/postactivate/head.d/000-default.sh
cp -vp "${HOME}"/.bashrc.scripts.after "${HOME}"/.local/share/bash-scripts/postactivate/tail.d/999-default.shYou may find useful to run something before and/or something after you load [these] scripts [provided by this package] into your terminal session.
This way, you can define defaults for environment variables before scripts run. You can also adjust keyboard configurations and other preferences after all scripts run.
