I decided to up my command line game, so this a ‘remember how to do stuff‘ post for me. I do acknowledge that there are tons of different ways on doing things, especially when you have to deal with the command line. So don’t shoot the pianist.
Step 0: I do use brew
Use brew to manage a lot of command line tools + gui apps. You can find it
here. I also occasionally use,CakeBrew (just to check on deps)
Step 1 : Upgrade my bash on macOSX
Mostly I do follow the instructions as postedhere.
# Add the new shell to the list of allowed shells sudo bash -c 'echo /usr/local/bin/bash >> /etc/shells' # Change to the new shell chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash
Step 3 : Install Oh-my-bash
I do like Oh-my-bash (Set of extensions and plug-ins. You can install it if you do the following :
bash -c “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmybash/oh-my-bash/master/tools/install.sh)”
Step 4: Activate oh-my-bash on your bash_profile
Since bash_profile is picked first you should make sure that ./bashrc is also sourced. I added this line at the end of my ~/bash_profile
source ~/.bashrc
Step 5: Activate some handy plugins using oh-my-bash
Edit ~/.bash_rc and find the section with the extensions. Currently I have the following activated:
completions=( awscli git composer ssh ) plugins=( aws git bashmarks )
