`sh-ask-yesnoskip`

Simple shell input prompt asks user to answer Yes, No, or Skip.

Usage

Source the bin/ask-yesnoskip.sh library, then call from your scripts.

E.g.,

$ . ask-yesnoskip.sh
$ the_choice=$(ask_yesnoskip "What do you choose" "Y")
Please Yes/no/skip: What do you choose? [Y/n/s]

Installation

The author recommends cloning the repository and wiring its bin/ to PATH.

You can also create a symlink to the library (ask-yesnoskip.sh) from a location already on PATH, such as ~/.local/bin.

Or you could clone the project and load the library to evaluate it first, before deciding how you want to wire it.

Alternatively, you might find that using a shell package manager, such as bkpg, is more appropriate for your needs, e.g., bpkg install -g landonb/sh-ask-yesnoskip.

Makefile install

The included Makefile can also be used to help install.

E.g., you could clone this project somewhere and then run a sudo make install to install it globally:

git clone https://github.com/landonb/sh-ask-yesnoskip.git
cd sh-ask-yesnoskip
# Install to /usr/local/bin
sudo make install

Specify a PREFIX to install anywhere else, such as locally, e.g.,
```
# Install to $USER/.local/bin
PREFIX=~/.local/bin make install
```
And then ensure that the target directory is on the user's PATH variable.

You could, for example, add the following to ~/.bashrc:
```
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
```

Manual install

If you clone the project and want the library functions to be loaded in your shell, remember to ensure that it can be found on PATH, and then source the library file, e.g.,

git clone https://github.com/landonb/sh-ask-yesnoskip.git
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/sh-ask-yesnoskip/bin
. ask-yesnoskip.sh

Enjoy!
