ysh

A collection of useful general purpose shell scripts

Getting Started

Most of the scripts are written in bash (4.1.2(1)-release and mainly on GNU/Linux), but they should function as intended in other shell environments too.

Prerequisites

GNU/Linux operating system with bash.

• BASH_VERSION 4.1.2+
• GNU coreutils 8.28+

Very few scripts have been adjusted to work on mac OS (POSIX.2), some still in progress.

# Get your OS  from a terminal
echo "$OSTYPE"
linux-gnu

Installing

The following commands from a terminal should install the scripts in $HOME/ysh directory (specify path to install in a different place). The install script will also append install path to shell PATH.

git clone https://github.com/yaswant/ysh.git
cd ysh
sh ./install.sh PATH  # default PATH=$HOME/ysh

Uninstalling

The following commands will remove the ysh install path from the system. At the moment the PATH setting in user profile has to be removed manually.

sh uninstall.sh PATH  # default PATH=$HOME/ysh
