Order bash to do things by shouting.
Order bash to do things by shouting.
Typing sudo chmod +x foo.sh
is so boring, isn't it? You really want to chmod
that file, so let bash know about it. Be assertive:
CHMOD +x foo.sh
That way, bash knows you mean business. Plus, you save yourself three keypresses if you use caps lock, or four(!) if you use shift.
You can ~yell~ type SUDO
to get bash to run the last command you wrote with sudo prefixed. After all, forgetting sudo can be very frustrating;
you need to let your anger out somehow. A typical usage looks like this:
$ mkdir /bar
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/bar’: Permission denied
$ SUDO
[sudo] password for user:
$ /bar
bash: /bar: Is a directory
$ :)
Run install.py
, follow instructions (requires Python 3). Running this script will also allow you to update to new versions.
Note: this will append to your ~/.bashrc
. A backup of your ~/.bashrc
is kept at ~/.bashrc.old
if anything goes catastrophically wrong.
Warning: never run scripts without checking them and being certain that they are not malicious.
Thanks to @rpprroger for the idea. I just implemented the idea, badly.
