Modify it, configure it

Show another value

You can show another value instead of default one. Just uncomment selected printf at the end of file. If more than one value is enabled, BitBar will show all in a menu.

Configure the refresh time

The refresh time is in the filename of the plugin, following this format:

{name}.{time}.{ext}

• name - The name of the file
• time - The refresh rate (see below)
• ext - The file extension

For example:

• date.1m.sh would refresh every minute.

Most plugins will come with a default, but you can change it to anything you like:

• 10s - ten seconds
• 1m - one minute
• 2h - two hours
• 1d - a day

Ensure you have execution rights

Ensure the plugin is executable by running chmod +x plugin.sh.

Using symlinks

Because Git will ignore everything in Plugins/Enabled, you can use it to maintain your own plugins directory while still benefitting from tracking (upstream) changes.

Resetting Plugin Directory

In case you made the mistake of choosing a directory with thousands of files as the plugin directory and BitBar getting stuck forever, do this from terminal to reset it:

defaults delete com.matryer.BitBar
