About

Common tools for a Linux environment that is similar to bash + Ubuntu.

Includes scripts for working with these notable items, among others:

• bash
• vim
• grive

Installation

Clone this repo to a preferred location for scripts (e.g. $HOME/bin for a user-specific install, or /usr/bin for a system-wide install)

git clone git@github.com:bclark/bin ~

Then, ensure that the install directory is included on your PATH. Add the following line to your shell init script (e.g. .bashrc for bash). Or, checkout dotfiles for a different way to set up your shell init scripts!

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin"

Then, refresh your shell to be able to call scripts from this repo from anywhere. See the refresh-bash script for a tool to easily reload your shell configs!

Usage

• Add a new script to this directory with newscript.
• Make all files in bin executable using permit-bin

Notes

• Some of these scripts are marked as bash scripts even though they are certainly POSIX compliant. 🤷
