Handy Bash

Compiled by Robert LaMarca

(c) Robert LaMarca 2020 except where otherwise noted.

This is simply a collection of bash scripts I have found useful which I have broken out into separate files to allow mixing and matching.

This project was started as a learning tool for the New York JavaScript Study Group

Important Safety Tip:

This project is intended to be primarily a learning tool and reference. The code works on my own system, but you should read the documents and the source before using on your own system.

How to use:

If you use a system that has bash terminal ( Linux, Mac, Unix ) you will have in your home folder a file called .bashrc or .bash_profile ( usually this one is mac ).

Depending upon your experience, you may already have some PATHS defined in this file, or perhaps some other scripts.

To use scripts in this project, you can either:

1: copy and paste specific scripts directly into your bash profile file.

2: clone this repo into your system and either:

• use the source command to link to this entire project.
  source [path-to-this-project]/handy-bash.bash

• OR use source command to link to specific files in this project directly into your bash profile. For example: to use the ls command enhancements... source [path-to-this-project]/handy-ls.bash

You should never simply past the handy-bash.bash file into your own bash profile as it requires other files to work.

Partial List of Sections:

handy-ls.bash

This contains some shortcuts ( aliases ) for often used ls commands:

• ll: ls -l ( list files with details )
