• Clone
• Install Dependencies
• Add to $PATH
• Link Configs and Inherit Bash Environment and $PATH
• Import just the $PATH

Clone

mkdir -p -v ~/github

git clone https://github.com/HariSekhon/DevOps-Bash-tools ~/github/bash-tools

Install Dependencies

Then run make to install any dependencies, system packages, libraries etc.

If you only want to use a specific script you could skip this setp and install bits yourself, possibly using the install/install*.sh scripts.

cd ~/github/bash-tools

make

OR install only the individual bits you need for a specific script you want to run:

install/install_aws_cli.sh

install/install_gcloud_sdk.sh

install/install_homebrew.sh

brew install jq

Now run whichever script you came for...

Add to $PATH

Much of the rest of this knowledge base gives the short script names for brevity.

You should add the directories containing the scripts to your $PATH.

You can do this manually or by automatically linking

Link Configs and Inherit Bash Environment and $PATH

The configs/ directory is full of dotfiles that get symlinked to your $HOME directory if you run this at the root of the repo:

make link

Any existing configs get skipped for safety.

The output will show what is symlinked and what is skipped.

Any ~/.bash* or ~/.zsh* files will have a source line added which will include all the aliases, functions and paths to the subdirectories of the repo containing the many scripts.

Import just the $PATH

If you'd rather not import everything, you can just source the .bash.d/paths.sh yourself in your ~/.bashrc by adding this:

source ~/github/bash-tools/.bash.d/paths.sh
