bash-scripts

a collection of bash scripts to automate some common things, like initializing a git repo and provision a project directory structure. Contents include:

• gitinit is a copy of https://github.com/chrissimpkins/scriptacular/tree/master/version-control
• mkproj structures a directory with guiding principals from Good Enough Practices in Scientific Computing.
  • only an ArcMap option exists currently, because of all the NRS522 maps

Installation

This requires bash access. Mac and Unix machines will have it natively; Windows users should install Git and use Git Bash or similar.

1. Clone the repo to your local machine
2. In a bash window, open either ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_rc (or create if necessary) and paste the following:

   BASH_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY="/c/proj/code/bash-scripts"
   
   alias gitinit="$BASH_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY/gitinit.sh"
   alias mkproj="$BASH_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY/mkproj.sh"

3. Change the value of BASH_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY to where you've cloned the repo.
4. Alternatively, change the names of the alias to whatever you'd like.
5. Either reopen bash or type:

   source ~/.bash_profile
