Glass's Custom Bash Environment

This repository is designed to add some dazzle and utility to a fresh stock bash environment with minimal permissions required.

Contents

• setup.sh: Initializes shell environment:

  • Adds source /path/to/glass-bash/main.sh line to ~/.bashrc
  • Checks for SSH key, creates if missing
  • Sets Git user name and email (user input) if not already set

• main.sh: File sourced by ~/.bashrc that handles most of the shell configuration and sourcing of other files

• scripts/: Contains all custom content, including:

  • aliases - custom aliases
  • functions - custom functions
  • options - commentable options like extended regex matching and history file appending
  • prompt.sh - custom, colorized, and informational prompt
  • etc.

• bash-tips: Just some useful chunks of bash code

Setup

1. Clone the repo: $ git clone http://github.com/glass-ships/glass-bash.git

2. Initialize new environment: $ cd glass-bash && bash setup.sh

3. (Optional) Store any secrets as environment variables. Create a file called secrets.json in the root of the repo.

   • This file is ignored by git, so your secrets are safe if you contribute to this repository.
     The format should be:

   {
      "SECRET_ONE": "SECRET_VALUE",
      "SECRET_TWO": "OTHER_SECRET_VALUE"
      ...
   }

4. Enjoy!
