# Bashrc
Source: https://git.thurstylark.com/vcsh/bashrc.git
## Profile
Bash chooses which dotfile to source based on how it gets run. If starting from a login shell, `~/.bash_profile` will get sourced, but if there's not a command in there to source your `~/.bashrc`, you may find yourself having to `exec bash` after starting bash. This can be fixed by adding the following line to your `~/.bash_profile`:
```prettyprint
[ -f ~/.bashrc ]( -f ~/.bashrc .md) && . ~/.bashrc
```
I also use `~/.bash_profile` for setting numlock while in a tty:
```prettyprint
case $(tty) in /dev/tty[0-9]*)
setleds -D +num * (numlock for X is set in ~/.xinitrc)
;;
esac
```
The last thing of note in my `~/.bash_profile` is a warning:
```prettyprint
- Temporary fix for a systemd bug related to systemd --user timers that run on login
[ -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ]( -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" .md) && printf "%bWARNING: \$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is unset! %b\n" "$(tput bold)$(tput setab 1)" "$(tput sgr0)"
```

## Main bashrc
Things started getting a little too expansive, so I split off relevant sections into their own files. Now all my individual utilities have their own file, making troubleshooting and adding functionality much easier. You can find info for each file and what it does in its own section on this page.
### General config
I'm not going in to detail about every line, but I'll hilight the important parts. The rest should be documented in the script itself.
First off, if we're not running bash interactively, there's no use for any of the rest of this, so just skip it.
```prettyprint
- If not running interactively, don't do anything
[ $- != *i* ]( $- != *i* .md) && return
```
Another cool option is actually built in to bash: If you call for a directory without any command before it, just `cd` into that directory.
```prettyprint
- If a directory is given without any command, CD into it.
shopt -s autocd
```
This is where all the other utilities, aliases, and functions get pulled in. Anything in `~/.bashrc.d/` ending in `.sh` will get pulled in.
```prettyprint
for f in ~/.bashrc.d/*.sh; do source "$f"; done
```
This also removes the need for the local bashrc sourcing that I [had in this file previously](https://git.thurstylark.com/vcsh/bashrc.git/tree/.bashrc?id=30c53ca7224b583ed5068038b697653810e3b94b#n45). If that functionality is needed, simply make a new script in `~/.bashrc.d/` and don't track it with `vcsh`.
Ordering can be done by adding numbers to the beginning of filenames. For example: `10-prompt.sh`. Currently, nothing that I use requires that kind of functionality.

## Prompt
https://git.thurstylark.com/vcsh/bashrc.git/tree/.bashrc.d/prompt.sh
I originally built my prompt using http://bashrcgenerator.com and, while it's a nice tool for visually building a prompt, it has several limitations on what you're able to create with it. But more importantly to me, it generates a rediculously long string, defines and resets color for every single character, uses both a color and bold escape sequence to use light/bright colors, mixes raw escape sequences and subshells running tput, and as a result is utterly unreadable and unmaintainable.
So, I replaced it:
```prettyprint
promptsetup() {
- Color definitions for prompt
local fg_brightred='\[$(tput setaf 9)\]'
local fg_blue='\[$(tput setaf 4)\]'
local fg_magenta='\[$(tput setaf 13)\]'
local fg_cyan='\[$(tput setaf 6)\]'
local fg_brightcyan='\[$(tput setaf 14)\]'
local fg_green='\[$(tput setaf 2)\]'
local reset='\[$(tput sgr0)\]'
local hostname='\h'
local mixin
- [hh:mm][username@hostname pwd]$
- Remotely, hostname is red.
[ -n "$SSH_CLIENT" ] && hostname="${fg_brightred}\h${reset}"
- If in a python venv, add venv name in green.
[ -n "$VIRTUAL_ENV" ] && mixin=" ${fg_green}$(basename "$VIRTUAL_ENV")${reset}"
- If in a vcsh repo env, add repo name in magenta.
[ -n "$VCSH_REPO_NAME" ] && mixin=" ${fg_magenta}$VCSH_REPO_NAME${reset}"
PS1="${fg_blue}[\A]${fg_cyan}[${fg_brightcyan}\u${fg_cyan}@${hostname}${mixin} ${fg_cyan}\W]${reset}\$ "
}
promptsetup
```
I intentionally put everything in a function and call it immediately so I may use local vars for the color definitions. I didn't really want to leave them around just in case.

## Aliases
https://git.thurstylark.com/vcsh/bashrc.git/tree/.bashrc.d/alias.sh
Most of these are just creature comforts and fairly self-explanitory:
```prettyprint
##* ALIASES ###
- Colorize all `ls` output:
alias ls='ls -AF --color=auto'
- Map "la" to `ls -la`
alias la='ls -laFh --color=auto'
- Colorize `grep` output
alias grep='grep --color=auto'
- Change layout of lsblk to include FSTYPE and remove MAJ:MIN, RM, and RO collumns.
alias lsblk='lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,TYPE,MOUNTPOINT'
- Always use sudo when using nmap.
alias nmap='sudo -E nmap'
- Switch $TERM temporarily (for logging into machines that don't have tmux-256color terminfo)
alias screenterm='TERM=screen-256color'
```
----
## Colored man Pages
Some color changes in `man` are almost essential for readability for me, so here's how I achieve that:
```prettyprint
- Enables colored Man pages:
man() {
env LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[01;31m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[01;38;5;74m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[38;5;246m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[04;38;5;146m' \
man "$@"
}
```
This can also be done for any similar program that uses `less` as its pager.

## Get Dell Service Tag
https://git.thurstylark.com/vcsh/bashrc.git/tree/.bashrc.d/getdst.sh
I work with Dell machines a lot, and when dealing with hardware problems, it's nice to have the service tag handy. Lucky for me, the service tag is easily retrieveable using `dmidecode(1)`, so I made a function for it.
```prettyprint
getdst() {
if [ "$1" = "-l" ]( "$1" = "-l" .md); then
printf "http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/servicetag/%s/configuration\n" "$(getdst)"
else
sudo dmidecode -s system-serial-number
fi
}
```
As an added bonus, the `-l` option will print the url for that product's support page.

## Screenshot
https://git.thurstylark.com/vcsh/bashrc.git/tree/.bashrc.d/shot.sh
This function wraps `maim(1)` and `fb(1)` to simplify my most used options. It uses maim to capture either the full screen, the active window, or a mouse selection to a file, or directly to a pastebin.
```prettyprint
shot() {
- Usage: shot XY
local destdir="$HOME/Pictures/screenshots"
local fname
local pb="fb"
local paste msgt msgd opts
fname="shot-$(date +%F-%T).png"
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
printf "
Usage: shot XY
X: Target
Y: Destination
Valid Targets:
w Active Window
a All displays
s Mouse Selection
Valid Destinations:
f Save to file (defined in function)
p Upload to a pastebin (defined in function)
"
return
fi
- X: What to capture
case ${1:0:1} in
- Active window
w) printf "Focus target window now...\n"
opts="-i $(xdotool getactivewindow)"
msgt="active window"
;;
- All
a) msgt="all displays"
;;
- Mouse selection
s) opts="-s --noopengl"
msgt="mouse selection"
;;
-) printf "Invalid target: %s\n" "${1:0:1}"
return
;;
esac
- Y: Where to put the result
case ${1:1:1} in
- Save to file
f) msgd="file: $destdir/$fname"
;;
- Post to a pastebin
p) destdir=$destdir/pasted
msgd="pastebin"
paste=1;;
-) printf "Invalid destination: %s\n" "${1:1:1}"
return
;;
esac
- Make sure destination directory will exist
[ ! -d "$destdir" ]( ! -d "$destdir" .md) && mkdir -p "$destdir"
local fpath="${destdir}/${fname}"
- If target is active window, give a 5 second countdown before running maim
[ "$msgt" = "active window" ]( "$msgt" = "active window" .md) && countdown 5
maim "$opts" "$fpath"
printf "Captured %s -> %s\n" "$msgt" "$msgd"
- If destination is a pastebin, do the needful
[ "$paste" ]( "$paste" .md) && $pb "$fpath"
}
```
This probably isn't the most robust solution, but it works pretty well. Patches welcome.
----
## Countdown
https://git.thurstylark.com/vcsh/bashrc.git/tree/.bashrc.d/countdown.sh
Found this little function when I wanted to add functionality to `shot()`. It takes an integer as an argument, then counts down that number of seconds visually.
```prettyprint
countdown() {
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
printf "
countdown: Count down while printing progress on the terminal
Usage: countdown <seconds>
"
fi
local secs="$1"
while [ "$secs" -gt 0 ]; do
echo -ne "$secs\033[0K\r"
sleep 1
: $((secs--))
done
}
```
This probably isn't the sanest or safest solution to the problem, but it gets the job done. Patches welcome.
----
## FontFind
https://git.thurstylark.com/vcsh/bashrc.git/tree/.bashrc.d/fontfind.sh
Sometimes you just need to figure out what font provides a specific character. This function provides that solution:
```prettyprint
fontfind() {
if [ ${#1} -gt 1 ]( -z $1 |); then
printf "E: only one character accepted"
fi
local glyph=$1
FC_DEBUG=4 pango-view -qt "$glyph" 2>&1 | awk -F \" '/family: / { m = $2 } END { print m }'
}
```
----
## Vactivate
https://git.thurstylark.com/vcsh/bashrc.git/tree/.bashrc.d/vactivate.sh
I started needing more than one python virtualenv, and I wanted easy access to my own specific file structure. Additionally, I wanted the ability to deactivate the venv like I would exit a child shell. This is the solution that I came up with:
```prettyprint
vactivate() {
local path=~/.venv/$1
if [ ! -d $path ]( ! -d $path .md); then
python -m venv $path --prompt "venv: $1"
fi
source $path/bin/activate; bash; deactivate
}
```
A caveat to this is that the prompt modification that venv usually applies is not available using this method. If a prompt modification is desired, it needs to be taken care of elsewhere. I take care of it in my prompt setup detailed [here](https://wiki.thurstylark.com/Bashrc.html#Prompt).
