This repo holds my .bashrc (and eventually my .vimrc whenever I get around to learning vim). It also has some handy features like adding aliases, using a .env file at ~/.env, and installing programs.

cd # go to home directory, as files should be stored in stored in ~/arc
git clone https://github.com/kahnpoint/arc
source ~/arc/.bashrc

You can now copy ~/arc/.bashrc to ~/.bashrc with arccp if you want to use it permanently (see Arc Utilities for other commands)

Arc mostly has shorthand aliases for programs (like tf=terraform), but there are a few other frequently-used aliases and functions:

• ali = add an alias to both arc/.bashrc and .bashrc (with an optional comment) and alphabetize all the aliases
  • usage: ali 'c' 'clear' 'clear the terminal'
• cpf = copy file contents to clipboard (WSL only)
  • usage: cpf ~/.bashrc
• cpc = copy command output to clipboard (WSL only)
  • usage: cpc ls
• mkcd = make a directory and cd into it
  • usage: mkcd ~/newdir
• grist = grep history (history | grep)
  • usage: grist cd
• bsrc = source .bashrc (source ~/.bashrc)
• .. = go down a directory (cd ..), can also do from ... to .....
• , = return to previous directory (cd -)
• (see 'MY SYNCED ALIASES' in .bashrc for more)

These are commands for working with Arc, and may get turned into a more formal cli tool sometime in the future.

• arc = edit /arc/.bashrc in nano and update .bashrc
• arccp = copy /arc/.bashrc to ~/.bashrc
• arcpc = copy ~/.bashrc to /arc/.bashrc
• arcup = upload /arc/.bashrc to github
• arcdn = download /arc/.bashrc from github
• arcin = install programs that have non-standard install methods (more will be added later, these are just some examples)
  • bun
  • python3.12
  • thefuck
    • includes WSL modifications
    • uses alias 'f' for workspace-friendliness
