# Bash Dotfiles
System-wide `bash` Shell Configurations!
## Features
- **Centralized** - All configs in `/etc/bash/`.
- **System-wide** - Common configs for all users.
- **Modular structure** - Split by function (aliases, prompts, etc.)
- **OS-aware aliases** - Distro-specific aliases for appropriate package manager commands.
- **Colors!** - Use of colors where possible.
## How to use
1. Clone this repo to `/etc`.
```bash
git clone https://git.candifloss.cc/candifloss/dotfiles_bash.git /etc/bash
```
2. Add this to the end of `/etc/bash.bashrc`:
```bash
if [ -d /etc/bash ]; then # Check if the dir exists
for file in /etc/bash/*.sh; do # Include all the files in the dir
if [ -r "$file" ]; then # Check if the file exists
. "$file"
fi
done
fi
```
## File structure
```
/etc/bash/ # `mkdir` or `git clone` to this directory
├── bash_alias_common.sh # Common aliases
├── bash_alias_distro.sh # Distro-specific aliases
├── bash_prompt.sh # Shell prompt
├── LICENSE # Repo license
└── README.md # This file
```
## Trouble-shooting
- Alias not working?
Run `alias | grep <command>` to find overrides
- Settings over-ridden?
These files can override your aliases and other settings (check in order):
1. `/etc/profile`
2. `/etc/bash.bashrc`
3. `~/.bash_profile`
4. `~/.bash_login`
5. `~/.profile`
6. `~/.bashrc`
- Permission errors
```bash
sudo chmod -R 755 /etc/bash
```
- Debug Loading Order
Check which files are loaded
```bash
bash --login --verbose --norc 2>&1 | grep -E '^\+.*\. '
```
- Colors missing?
Check the `TERM` variables and your terminal's capabilities.
