lobash

A function library for bash scripts. This project contains bash- and other scripts we use in our daily work.

Usage

You have to add the following line into your script right after the shebang (#!/bin/bash). This will download the latest version of the script and pipe it into your bash.

#!/bin/bash
source <(curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frux-technologies/lobash/master/README.md")
_init

# or use
_initAndPrompt
# to get an additional line like:
#2019-02-12T08:22:53 user_name@server_name(server_ip) from ip_youre_running_the_script_from
# or use
_initAndPrompt "scriptname.sh"
# and you may omit the next line (_echo_h) because it's taken care of for you

# You may use the bashlib functions from here on
_echo_h "This is a test and should be formatted correctly"

If you'd like a specific version of this script, then you'd have to play around with tags or branches or even get the call to curl the raw format of a file in a specific version (commit). I have not tried it yet, but it should be doable.

Multiple Includes

Those don't matter at all. Other than download-time it doesn't affect the bash if you import a file more than once. The 'older' versions just get 'overwritten'.

This may be a performance problem when operating from outside, but with a download-time of 1ms internal, this is not a real problem.
