My collection of various shell scripts and dot files that should be modular enough for others to extend with their own scripts. This is heavily biased toward bash.

./install.sh

This will create a ~/bin and ~/etc directory if they do not currently exist. Then all corresponding files within the project bin and etc directories will be linked if possible.

Note, this will link to files in the project so you'll want to keep the project hanging around. Consider cloning to something like ~/.dotfiles.

Also, the installation script is careful not to overwrite any existing files or directories and it should be safe enough to run multiple times.

Just to get an idea of the basic structure:

~/
  .bashrc -> ~/.dot-files/.bashrc
  .bash_profile -> ~/.dot-files/.bash_profile
  ./bin/
      git-completion.sh -> ~/.dot-files/bin/git-completion.sh 
  ./etc/
      aliases.sh -> ~/.dot-files/aliases.sh
      aliases.d/ -> ~/.dot-files/aliases.d/
         *.sh
      profile.d/ -> ~/.dot-files/profile.d/
         *.sh
      hosts.d/ -> ~/.dot-files/hosts.d/
         `hostname -s`.sh
      platform.d/ -> ~/.dot-files/platform.d/
         `uname -s`.sh

There is an uninstall.sh script that will look for all links in your home directory that point to the project directory (i.e. where the uninstall script lives). This won't recurse down all directories but only find links in the top level home directory and directly under the ~/bin and ~/etc directories.

All *.sh files within ~/etc/profile.d and ~/etc/aliases.d directories will be sourced into the ~/.bashrc.

A file matching ~/etc/hosts.d/``hostname -s``.sh will be sourced into the .bashrc as well. This will be sourced in after everything else so you can override anything you want from there.

A file matching ~/etc/platform.d/``uname -a``.sh will be sourced into .bashrc. For example:

~/etc/platform.d/Darwin.sh
~/etc/platform.d/Linux.sh

I hope that others find this useful enough to utilize themselves. I'll be adding updates so please watch!

I'm in no way a shell-guru. If you have any suggestions or corrections, just let me know!
