Bashir

Bashir ("the one who bring good news") is a setup script to initialize Bash environments. The script initializes commands aliases, the shell prompt, path, and command line commands history.

The main goal is to provide a quick way to setup Bash shells, running a simple command, for instance while creating a VM, a container or during the first access into a system. A Bashir setup endpoing is available and accessible to curl/wget.

Quick setup

This command will install Bashir in your Linux shell:

curl -s https://dev.ai/bashir/v1 |bash

This commands installs and runs Bashir without needing to reload the shell:

curl -s https://dev.ai/bashir/v1 |bash && . ~/.bashir

Docker

You may want to use Bashir to customize your Docker containers' shell, for example:

FROM debian:jessie
