shell-utils - collection of useful shell helpers
================================================
[](https://travis-ci.org/rcmachado/shell-utils)
shell-utils is a collection of functions to make shell script
development more fun and less repetitive.
The main idea is to write small functions that are composable and
reusable - but have a use on its own. With this approach, we can make
a small but very efficient library.
Installation
------------
Clone this repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/rcmachado/shell-utils.git
And point `SHELL_UTILS_DIR` to `shell-utils` directory. See Usage for
details.
Usage
-----
Because there is no reliable way to identify the absolute path of a
variable, you need to set `SHELL_UTILS_DIR` with the dir that contains
the scripts. After that, just include `all.sh` on your script:
```sh
#!/bin/sh
# Supposing that you copied the libs into shell-utils directory
# relative to current script path
SHELL_UTILS_DIR="$(dirname $0)/shell-utils"
. $SHELL_UTILS_DIR/all.sh
# .. continue with your code ..
```
Look at `examples.sh` file to see how to use.
Documentation
-------------
### header.sh
* `print_separator N C`: print a separator line repeating char `C`
`N` times
* `print_header`: print a header title
### colors.sh
* `print_color "color name" "message"`: print `message` in `color name`
Aditionally to `print_color` function, there are also `COLOR_*`
variables with color codes for printing on shell.
### log.sh
* `log_debug`: print debug message
* `log_info`: print info message
* `log_warn`: print warning message
* `log_error`: print error message
