Introduction

This is a fork of ssledz's fun.sh library.

This is mainly for my own personal use cases. So I would recommend using ssledz's version instead. I mainly worked towards getting this library to mostly pass shellcheck, removed some functionality, and name deconflicted some of the functions with what I had in my system.

Quick start

#!/bin/bash
. <(test -e fun.sh || curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brandon-rozek/bash-fun/master/src/fun.sh > fun.sh; cat fun.sh)
