Important

I am spread too thin between all of my projects, so if you can support my efforts or wish to contribute - please contact me.

My username here is almost the same on most popular online social platforms.

I am open to business proposals as well. CV at LinkedIn.

Bash Utility Functions Library

A collection of pre-made commands reducing cognitive load on the user.

Can be useful for active rpm-ostree, podman, distrobox & adb users.

Note

Intended for source (or .).

Warning

Use this code at your own risk, it was not well-tested!

I am a solo developer with little resources so I can't guarantee smooth operation.

I am writing these scripts to be stable to the best of my abilities and knowledge.

Installation

Tip

To keep your system de-cluttered, install scripts to a location shared between users.

Caution

Be careful with elevated privileges execution and important system files editing!

Pick a scope_path

User scope	For login sessions	For interactive sessions
System-wide	/etc/profile.d/	/etc/bashrc.d/
User-specific	~/.profile.d/	~/.bashrc.d/

Install

# sudo -i # if necessary, e.g. system-wide installation
# Download and source the install function script
curl -o /tmp/bash_utils.install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tsilvs/bash_utils/refs/heads/main/install.sh
source /tmp/bash_utils.install.sh
# call the function
scope_path="whatever/you/chose" bash_utils.install.clone "${scope_path}" git@github.com:tsilvs/bash_utils.git
# Add next line to the default sourced file (e.g. `/etc/bashrc`).
for f in "${scope_path}"/*.sh; do source $f; done

Plans

• Better installation script
• Rewrite with any bash scripting library (e.g. aks/bash-lib?) or pre-processor (e.g. TypeShell?) for better stability, reliability and maintainability
• Programming language rewrite?
  • Interpreted (TypeScript, PureScript)?
  • Compiled (Zig, Rust, Crystal, Go, Kotlin, Haskell, Nim, F#, OCaml)?
  • any other that's well integrated with Linux ecosystem?
• Proper packaging with .rpm, .deb, pkgbuild, flatpak, bpkg, podman image or any other suitable packaging tool
• UI with yad
• Proper i18n with separate locale files
