Bash-it

This repo is forked from bash-it. This version includes my own changes to everything from custom aliases, scripts, .bashrc, and much more.

Installation

1. Check out a clone of this repo to a location of your choice, such as git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/JayMody/bash-it.git ~/.bash_it
2. Run ~/.bash_it/install.sh (it automatically backs up your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc, depending on your OS)
3. Edit your modified config (~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc) file in order to customize Bash-it.
4. Check out available aliases, completions, and plugins and enable the ones you want to use (see the next section for more details).

Install Options

The install script can take the following options:

• --interactive: Asks the user which aliases, completions and plugins to enable.
• --silent: Ask nothing and install using default settings.
• --no-modify-config: Do not modify the existing config file (~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc).

When run without the --interactive switch, Bash-it only enables a sane default set of functionality to keep your shell clean and to avoid issues with missing dependencies. Feel free to enable the tools you want to use after the installation.

When you run without the --no-modify-config switch, the Bash-it installer automatically modifies/replaces your existing config file. Use the --no-modify-config switch to avoid unwanted modifications, e.g. if your Bash config file already contains the code that loads Bash-it.

NOTE: Keep in mind how Bash load its configuration files, .bash_profile for login shells (and in macOS in terminal emulators like Terminal.app or iTerm2) and .bashrc for interactive shells (default mode in most of the GNU/Linux terminal emulators), to ensure that Bash-it is loaded correctly. A good "practice" is sourcing .bashrc into .bash_profile to keep things working in all the scenarios. To achieve this, you can add this snippet in your .bash_profile:

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
  . ~/.bashrc
fi

Refer to the official Bash documentation to get more info.

Install using Docker

You can try Bash-it in an isolated environment without changing any local files via a Docker Container. (Bash Shell v4.4 with Bash-it, bats and bash-completion based on Alpine Linux).

docker pull ellerbrock/bash-it

Have a look at our bash-it-docker repository for further information.

Updating

To update Bash-it to the latest version, simply run:

bash-it update

that's all.

If you are using an older version of Bash-it, it's possible that some functionality has changed, or that the internal structure of how Bash-it organizes its functionality has been updated. For these cases, we provide a migrate command:

bash-it migrate

This command will automatically migrate the Bash-it structure to the latest version. The migrate command is run automatically if you run the update, enable or disable commands.
