Install

There are two ways to use this repository, if you are mostly working offline you should consider using Method 2 for anyone else Method 1 should be working fine. If you're one of those weirdos how are still using Windows scroll down to Method 3 and 4.

If you don't want to scroll through the installation instructions, you can watch my YouTube instructions video for

• Windows
• Unix-Based Distros

Method 1 - You have consistent and permanent internet

Clone the necessary file

Only clone the template.sh file via wget to your /opt folder

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SolonRubens/templates/main/template.sh

Then link it using

sudo ln -s /opt/template.sh /usr/local/bin/template

Or simply add the file to your PATH

If you chose the linking way you have to give yourself permission to execute the file

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/template

Method 2 - You almost never have internet or your connection is just bad

If you are mostly working offline or just have slow internet this is your way to go.

Clone the repository

Clone the repository via git to your /opt folder

git clone https://github.com/SolonRubens/templates.git

Link file

Link the offline template file with the following command

sudo ln -s /opt/templates/template_offline.sh /usr/local/bin/template

In case you already linked to the "normal" template file use this command

sudo ln -s /opt/templates/template_offline.sh /usr/local/bin/template_offline

Either way you have to change permissions for the generated linking file

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/template

or

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/template_offline

Method 3 - Online Version for Windows

Install wget

Unfortunately Windows has no tool preinstalled for downloading files via the command line so we have to install wget first.

If, by whatever reason, you don't want to install wget you have to use the local version. Windows sucks, I'm sorry.

Don't forget to add wget to your PATH if it doesn't happen automatically

Download the necessary file

Now you can use wget to download the template.bat file

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SolonRubens/templates/main/template.bat 

Wherever you download it to remember to add the folder afterwards to your PATH variable.

Method 4 - Local Version for Windows

Clone the repository

At first you have to clone the repository to wherever you want

git clone https://github.com/SolonRubens/template.git

Make sure you add template_offline.bat to your path
