Schellchemy

Utility functions to run multiple commands at once for Z Shell and Bash.

Basic Installation

1. Clone this repository to any path. Take note of the path where you cloned it using the pwd command.

   $ cd shellchemy && pwd
   /Users/myuser/shellchemy
   

2. Open your favorite text editor and access your shell configuration file. Depending on your OS and shell, the file's name can be ~/.bashrc, ~/.zprofile, ~/.bash_profile, .profile, etc.
3. Add the following line at the end of the file to execute shellchemy. Ensure the source path is the same as in step 1, followed by /index.

   source /Users/myuser/shellchemy/index
   

4. Open a new terminal to apply your changes.

Additional features

Prompt theme

Add the following line to execute the theme after the the line executing shellchemy.

source /Users/myuser/shellchemy/prompt

Jira

Add the line with the organization name variable before the line executing shellchemy. If the Jira URL is https://myorganization.atlassian.net/, then the value should be 'myorganization'.

BP_JIRA_ORGANIZATION='myorganization'

Node Version Manager

If you lack permissions to add .nvmrc files and need to work with different versions of Node in every repository, you can use the cdnvm function. Define custom aliases to change directory and use the desired version.

alias cdrepo1="cdnvm /Users/myuser/myorganization/repo1 10.13";
alias cdrepo2="cdnvm /Users/myuser/myorganization/repo2 16";

Shell configuration file example

Assuming you install shellchemy with all the additional features, your shell configuration file should look something like this:

BP_JIRA_ORGANIZATION='myorganization'
source /Users/myuser/shellchemy/index
source /Users/myuser/shellchemy/prompt

alias cdrepo1="cdnvm /Users/myuser/myorganization/repo1 10.13";
alias cdrepo2="cdnvm /Users/myuser/myorganization/repo2 16";

Common issues

command not found: ^M

Perhaps you clonned the repository with autocrlf enabled. You can disabled it in your ~/.gitconfig file or run

git config --global core.autocrlf false

If you need to keep autocrlf enabled, you can explore the Github issue in ohmyzsh for more options.
