Shell Scripts

I keep my shell scripts within a sh directory within my User's home directory.

• backup.sh
• git-editor.sh
• git-functions.sh
• override-cd.sh
• prev-dir.sh

---

backup.sh

I use this on my work (OSX) system. It allows me to create backup archives of specific files or folders. In your .*rc file (.zshrc, .bashrc, etc), create an alias:

alias backupuserdata="$HOME/sh/backup.sh .atom .bash_history .bash_sessions .gitconfig .history .npmrc .oh-my-zsh .sh_history .ssh .tmux.conf .viminfo .vimrc .vscode .yarnrc .zsh-update .zsh_history .zshrc sh 'Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default'"

In order to extract the password protected file:

7z x $HOME/Desktop/<FILE_NAME>.zip -o$HOME/Desktop/temp

git-editor.sh

Right now this is set up for Windows, but could be adapted to any OS.

In your global .gitconfig file, set the editor entry so it matches what's below.

[core]
	...
	editor = ~/sh/git-editor.sh

git-functions.sh

• A collection of shorthand functions/alias' that make working with GIT a little easier.
• One thing that sets these functions apart from others is that it maintains hierarchy knowledge. By that I mean, if you cut a branch called child from parent, child knows to rebase from parent rather than pulling; and in turn, parent knows to pull rather than rebase since it doesn't have a parent.

Install

In your .*rc file (.zshrc, .bashrc, etc), add this line near the top of the file.

source ~/sh/git-functions.sh

override-cd.sh

Overrides the system's cd command with one that can execute custom functions once a User enters a directory.

Install

In your .*rc file (.zshrc, .bashrc, etc), add this line near the top of the file.

source ~/sh/override-cd.sh

prev-dir.sh

When a Shell starts up, the User is given an option to open the previous directory.

Install

In your .*rc file (.zshrc, .bashrc, etc), add this line near the top of the file.

source ~/sh/prev-dir.sh
