Custom Bash config - Set up of .bashrc/.inputrc files for a fast and efficient shell experience

[@evantan4818]

awesome video! these little configs are so underrated

[@wyfyj]

Thanks for this. I'm moving back to bash.

[@JakeLinux]

You're welcome. I love me some bash

[@scottb4029]

Thanks Jake, for the tips . I too love customizing the BASH shell. Since I am an old fart and had not messed with coding in over 30yrs, when I started with linux this spring, I made aliases like files and dir to make bash more like ms-dos. (stopped doing that relatively quickly) Jake, could you do video on the "set" command in BASH with more of the - options info?

[@JakeLinux]

Sure, I can do a video on set, I only use it for certain things so please give me a day or two to brush up on all the options.

[@scottb4029]

@@JakeLinux thanks a bunch! The options look really interesting and powerful. One of those commands that can either make you or break you in a script.

Hi! is all that transition effects when you switch windows and opening windows part of picom? and where can i find your picom configs? thanks!

I recommend a somewhat more legible/contrasty color scheme. Contrasty is a word because you're reading it. Also, dirt is the all-purpose band-aid for the small nicks and cuts. I haven't tried shrink wrap, but I haven't made any small enough parts dangle that badly yet. If they make finger size shrink wrap, I haven't looked for it. Anything bigger, calls for duct tape. :)

@@JakeLinux You could of course make a video on just that. :)

I do enjoy color in the terminal, not for the "fancy" aspect, only because it's useful, it's more readable, for me, at least.. I've done almost the same thing on my .zshrc / .bashrc, colors. Still, i do need, and feel compels to do it, get an individual file for aliases.. quite messy inside the xxxxrc files.

[@luxucn]

I found if you map "\C-x\C-x" to re-read-init-file, then you don't have to restart terminal over and over again, just press ctrl-x twice every time.

I also would like to see setting: set bell-style none. Because this is also annoying for me))

I use mostly ZSH cause it is pretty too... Lol My masculinity is intact and I'm good with saying I like pretty things... LOL I bounce back and forth, I have some systems with Zsh and others Bash. I keep all my alises in the my .bash_alises and I source it from bash or zsh too. Interesting thing here... I watch and have watched lots of Linux, Arch, whatever YTbers... I can not, I repeat can NOT ever remember (Spock saying to Kirk"REMEMBER") hearing of a .inputrc file ever being mentioned... Granted I'm 67 and old and I can't remember why I stood up from this chair 1/2 the time, but I can't ever remember anything about such a file... LOL That is some great information Jake! Wait! What? You not in the truck... LOL Awesome... HahahAhA Thanks for the video! LLAP Remember.. A good mechanic always has these in there tool box for emergencies... That would be: paper towels, electrical tape, and now days a tub of superglue for the boo boos and ouchies... LOL Saves a ton on Doctor bills and it is cheaper too... :P

[@BrucesWorldofStuff]

@@JakeLinuxHahAHA... Wifes are funny like that... Tell her wait until your in your 60's and you need the superglue to hold it all together. Besides you can take ten years off your face for 99 cents... Lol I'm fickled I like Bash and Zsh... :-P LLAP
