Bash-Salt

A play on words of Bassalt, what i origionally wanted to call it.

This project was made to add some cool functions to BASH. WARNING: All scripts in this tool are handmade and not overly specialised, and therefore are only 'good enough'. If any functionality isnt up to your standard, please seek out the specialised replacement.

From the Dev

currently testing locally http://bash-salt.test/
Check out ryankelley.dev/bashsalt... eventually

Installation

You can install via your (git)BASH cli by using the command

curl -sfL https://ryankelley.dev/bashsalt/install.sh | sh

NOTE : :

This project only supports BASH on Windows systems currently. We're currently adding Linux support and removing the need for a python interpreter.

Added BASH Aliases

"la" = ls -a
"rf" = rm -rf
"c" = clear
"b" = cd ..
"gl" = git log --oneline --decorate --all
"mkcd" = mkdir $ && cd $
"view" = cd $ && la && b
"sr" = cd ~/source/repos
"rollback" = git reset HEAD^ && git push origin HEAD --force
