shell-profile

Series of shell scripts to set up my bash environment the way I like it.

NOTE: The scripts rely on realpath and the _git_branch_complete function in shell-profile-git.sh relies on sed, sort, and uniq. On Windows machines, all of those are installed by Git when Git Bash is installed. Depending on your installation choices they may only be available in Git Bash or in a shell wrapped around Git Bash (i.e., ConEmu executing Git Bash as the inner shell).

Notes For macOS users:

• realpath is included in the coreutils package which can be installed by brew install coreutils
• If you prefer GNU ls, make sure brew's corebin is in the PATH early (for example: export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH") and set the environment variable IDLSTYPE=GNU

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. Add source /path/to/shell-profile/shell-profile.sh to your .bash_profile
3. (Optionally) add GIT_EDITOR=MyFavoriteCUITextEditor to your .bash_profile sometime after the line above to override my setting for the text editor in bash shells
