# This repository has been migrated to the self-hosted ari-web Forgejo instance:


baz

> a fast, easy, simple and lightweight plugin manager for GNU bash

# source code

- [/baz](/baz) -- the plugin manager
- [/loader/](/loader/)-- the baz plugin loader files
- [/loader.sht](/loader.sht)-- the pure bash baz plugin loader

# credits

- [@DannyBen](https://github.com/DannyBen) -- for creating an awesome tool for completion: https://github.com/DannyBen/completely

# packages

- linux
- gentoo
-
- alpine
-

# dependencies

- coreutils
- BASH
- git cli
- optionally any c compiler ( to use the c loader insread of the bash one )
- rlwrap ( optional, but its nice for special keys )
- bash-completion ( optional, but its nice for well ... completion )

but you probably have all of them, maybe not `git`, but a lot of people do

# why `baz`

- fast
- or at least faster than oh-my-bash and sheldon ( a plugin manager writen in rust ) :
- easy
- small
- simple
- minimal
- cross platform
- linux
- gentoo
- void
- debian
- ubuntu
- arch
- ...
- BSD
- FreeBSD
- OpenBSD
- ...
- windows
- git BASH
- windows subsystem for Linux ( WSL )
- wherever you can get BASH on
- android
- most likely ( needs testing, please contribute if you have the resources to do so :) )
- macOS
- iOS
- GPLv3 licensing

# automatic setup

this script hosted on my files site will set up
baz automatically, but it might be unstable

```bash
$ cd /tmp

$ curl -fL 'https://ari-web.xyz/gh/baz/raw/main/scripts/baz_setup.sh' -o baz_setup.sh

$ bash baz_setup.sh

$ rm -f -- baz_setup.sh
```

or

```sh
cd /tmp && curl -fL 'https://ari-web.xyz/gh/baz/raw/main/scripts/baz_setup.sh' -o baz_setup.sh && bash baz_setup.sh && rm -f -- baz_setup.sh
```

script configuration :

- `__BASH_RUNAS`: the `sudo` program ( `sudo` )
- `PREFIX`: where to install `baz` to ( `/usr/bin` )
- plus the [normal vars](#setup) like `BAZ_LOGGING_ENABLED`

# plugin indexing

you can leave a link to it in the [PLUGINS.md](/PLUGINS.md) file :)

# setup

- clone the repo

```bash
$ git clone 'https://ari-web.xyz/gh/baz'
```

- if you want logging enabled

```sh
export BAZ_LOGGING_ENABLED=1
```

- if non-zero ( _its normal dw_ ) exit codes bother you on the loader run this :

```sh
export BAZ_ENSURE_OK=1
```

- if you never want to use the C loader

```sh
export BAZ_NO_CC=1
```

- set the c compiler ( has to at least support `-o ` and `-D MACRO="value"` flags )

```sh
export CC='clang'
```

- set the c flags

```sh
export CFLAGS='-O3 -s'
```

- set the stripper ( if none is set the binary wont be stripped )

```sh
export STRIP='llvm-strip'
```

- set the stripper flags

```sh
export STRIPFLAGS='--remove-section=.note --strip-all'
```

- install the script anywhere, or even run it standalone
- running standalone means just running it
- installing could be done in for example `/usr/local/bin`:

```bash
$ su -c 'install -Dm755 baz /usr/local/bin'
```

- setup

```bash
$ baz setup
```

Or

```bash
$ ./baz setup
```

- add this to your `~/.bashrc` :

```bash
export BAZ_LOADER_ENABLED=true
_baz_loader="$HOME/.local/share/baz/loader.sh"

[ ! -f "$_baz_loader" ] || source "$_baz_loader"
```

this is the main loader for plugins

# installing completion

```bash
$ ./scripts/comp.sh
```

# uninstallation

Uninstall the `baz` binaries and then just run:

```sh
$ sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/baz*
```

# help page

```bash
$ baz help
```

# upgrading

Just upgrade your package or pull the repo
and run :

```bash
$ ./baz upgrade
```

and if you also have completion, rerun the completion
script :

```bash
$ ./scripts/comp.sh
```

# debugging

- set `BAZ_DEBUG` to any value to any value to debug the `baz` cli with tracing
- set `BAZ_DEBUG_LOAD` to any value to debug the loader
- this only works if `BAZ_LOGGING_ENABLED` was set during setup time
- add `set -x` before and `set +x` after the loader to enable tracing
