Current configuration

OLD METHOD

• Set up .bashrc in the home directory (with hidden files) with the source ~/.custom_bash_commands.sh appended to the end
  • To open the .bashrc file, use this command in the Terminal: open .bashrc
• Ensure the most up-to-date version of the github repository is added to the user file (with hidden files).
• Open a new terminal as this will not work without the .bashrc file being reloaded.
• You can also optionally run source .bashrc to refresh the .bashrc file. (or source .bash_profile).
• There is a .update_commands.sh script that will run at the start of every terminal open that will automatically update to the latest version of the custom_bash_commands.sh file and add it to the correct directory.
• This is done by creating a temporary directory, then initializing and cloning the github repo in it, then copying the file to the correct location, then delete itself.
• This ensures that every time you run the terminal you have the latest version of the custom commands already installed.

NEW METHOD

• Append the following code to the end of the .bashrc file.

source ~/.update_commands.sh

Create a command to update the custom commands script instead of using an automatic script

To Test

• Change the .bashrc file to read source ~/.test_update_commands.sh
• Run the terminal and verify the testing works by opening the .custom_bash_commands.sh in the user directory.
• Change the .bashrc file to read source ~/.update_commands.sh if it is not working.

Useful Commands to Remember

• rsync: tool to synchronize directories or files.
• htop: interactive and real-time view of the processes running on a system
