Bash Shell Organizer
A better way to keep your shell setup organized, clean, and useful
interactive (.bashrc) environment, aliases, functions, modules
Install
Clone to a directory
git clone https://git.kebler.net/bashrc <repo path>
suggestion: /opt/shell/base
The idea is to keep the .bashrc file completely clean and manage this repo instead so you should really find a home for all the existing content of your .bashrc file within the repo
Every file in env
functions
,aliases
and misc
subdirectories will be sourced in that order (in setup.sh). Within each folder all files are sourced except ones ending with a .off
extension, starting with .
and the README.md file plus any in any subfolder except /archive
or /dep
The sourced files in this repo should be NOT be user/machine/network specific
if you include any of these environment variables all files in there directories will be sourced where
unless below specific directories are set
shell files are sourced in this order
sourced via /etc/bash.bashrc so for all machine users
$BASH_SHELL_BASE # this is set in /etc/bash.bashrc and etc/profile via the deploy script
$BASH_SHELL_NETWORK/all
$BASH_SHELL_NETWORK/$NETWORKNAME
$BASH_SHELL_HOST/all
$BASH_SHELL_HOST/
sourced via $HOME/.bashrc
$HOME/shell or $HOME/BASH_SHELL_USER
within each of those directories if setup.sh exits it will be run
otherwise files will be sourced exactly like in the base
identify a network name that this host resides on
like hostname but for the LAN network
if unset then only /all will be sourced
export NETWORKNAME=238
will use $BASH_SHELL_NETWORK/$NETWORKNAME under this directory unless specifically set
export BASH_SHELL_NETWORK=$BASH_SHELL/network
will use $BASH_SHELL_HOST/ unless specifically set
export BASH_SHELL_HOST=$BASH_SHELL/host
by default SHELL sources will be looked for under $HOME/shell
but can be user set below to $HOME/$BASH_SHELL_USER
export BASH_SHELL_USER=<some directory under $HOME>
if there is a script setup.sh in the root of these directoies it will be run. If not then all files no matter how deep will be sourced in alpha order order.
For those
If need to turn off a file just add .off
to the file name rather than move or delete the file...simple.
If you are really done with something but want to keep a copy in the repo move it to /archive folder within the primary subfolders
if sourcing some file depends on another preface with numbers to put it before. Functions are all sourced before aliases so can be referred to there.
Be aware that an alias or function set in the repo could be subsuming some existing binary or script.
