bash

The structure

.bashrc

This file loads other bash_* files and itself contains total environment variables

.bash_aliases

These are the most common aliases I use for bash.

.bash_functions

Here I define things that are too large to be an alias as funtions.

.bash_prompt

This is my bash prompt definition, with helper functions related to it.

.bash_constants

Here I define constans, which is super empty right now but had a purpose before. I have the alias constants which lists all defined constants.

.bash_work

In this file I have work related stuff that will never be pushed to GitHub, which is why the file is only seen in .bashrc

installation

Use soft links via ln -s to install them

bash_aliases et.c.

sudo -- -sh -c "ln -s /home/$USER/dotfiles/bash/.bash_aliases /home/$USER/;\
                ln -s /home/$USER/dotfiles/bash/.bash_functions /home/$USER/;\
                ln -s /home/$USER/dotfiles/bash/.bash_prompt /home/$USER/;\
                ln -s /home/$USER/dotfiles/bash/.bash_constants /home/$USER/;\
                ln -s /home/$USER/dotfiles/bash/.bashrc /home/$USER/;"

often it will help to throw on a -f in the mix.

scripts

I choose to use the /usr/local/bin folder for my own scripts, so something like the following should do the trick. If you do not wish to use sudo, then I'd recommend using ~/bin or similar.

for file in *; do
    if [ -f "$file" ]; then
        filename=${file%.*}
        sudo ln -s "$(pwd)/$file" /usr/local/bin/$filename && \
        echo "Success: linked $filename"
    fi
done
