Is it possible to make zsh look like GitBash without appealing to OhMyZsh?

Hi everyone!

Nothing to add to the noscript, it speaks by itself, but to give you as much informations as possible I tell you what I did!

So, I recently switched to Mac. I'm studying web development and until now I used GitBash for windows. I immediately realized that zsh style was pretty different so I tried to modify it to make it look as close as possible like GitBash. I created a .zshrc file in my home directory and with vscode I did the following modifications PS1="%F{green}%n@%m%f %F{yellow}%1\~%f $ "
The problem is that there is a lot of stuff that I'd like to modify but I wasn't still able to figure out how yet. These are the main things that I'd like to achieve:
\-When I do 'ls' the directories are not listed in blue with the '/' symbol. I have to 'ls -F' to identify them as a directories (and of course they still miss the color).
\-I didn't do anything regarding git yet but I'd like to have the branch names between brackets and coloured in blue
\-In git bash I had the whole paths listed. For example I had \~/one/two/current-directory. Now I just have the current-directory listed. I have to 'pwd' to see the whole path.
\-Finally, in GitBash the prompt $ started in a new line.

I looked online and some people suggest ohmyzsh. I'd like to achieve these results with out it. I also did 'man ls' to see what it says about colours. It talks about CLICOLOR and LSCOLORS but I wasn't able to understand how to apply them to get the result yet.

Could you guys help me?

Thank you!

a Bash noscript to eliminate lines in a delimited text file

Hello !

I have a file in a format like this, but bigger:

0.5 00000 aaaaa K 00000 aaaaaaa
0.5 11111 bbbbb P 11111 bbbbbbb
0.5 22222 ccccc F 22222 ccccccc
0.02 33333 ddddd G 33333 ddddddd
0.01 44444 eeeee S 44444 eeeeeee
0.01 55555 fffff S1 55555 fffffff
0.5 66666 ggggg G 66666 ggggggg
0.5 77777 hhhhh S 77777 hhhhhhh

I want to write a Bash noscript, that enters the file, and looks for a line that has G in the fourth column, if it's the case, it returns to the first column of that line and compares it to 0,04. If it's lower, the line should be deleted.

If a line that contains G is deleted, the noscript should look for the lines under, if they contain S or S1, or S2 they should be deleted also if they contain anything except that, no deletion is needed.

For that input, I should have an output like this:

0.5 00000 aaaaa K 00000 aaaaaaa
0.5 11111 bbbbb P 11111 bbbbbbb
0.5 22222 ccccc F 22222 ccccccc
0.5 66666 ggggg G 66666 ggggggg
0.5 77777 hhhhh S 77777 hhhhhhh

Thanks in advance! Have a good day.

How do I use double quotes in a remote ssh this way?

Normally I would set the today variable like this:

today="$(date +'%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S')"

Since I'm doing it on a remote server I am doing it this way:

ssh -T root@192.168.1.4 << EOL
today=\$(date +'%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S')
echo "\$today"
EOL

But what if I wanted to use the double quotes like normal? How would I do that remotely?

quick question

Hello, I am making a noscript that installs and configures a bunch of stuff and I am having a problem with an EOF statement in a function. I am not sure if it works but VsCode and ShellCheck have both flagged it.

Code:

#adds desktop entries for WM's
dotdesktop () {
cat << EOF > /usr/share/xsessions/qtile.desktop
Desktop Entry
Name=Qtile
Comment=Qtile Window Manager
Exec=qtile start
Type=Application
Keywords=wm;tiling
EOF

cat << PIG > /usr/share/wayland-sessions/hypr.desktop
Desktop Entry
Name=Hyprland
Comment=Hyprland Window Manager
Exec=exec Hyprland
Type=Application
Keywords=wm;tiling;wayland
PIG
}

the errors are :

Couldn't parse this here document. Fix to allow more checks.
Remove indentation before end token (or use <<- and indent with tabs).

Need help filtering the output after phrase "Only Texts:"

[SOLVED]
Edit:

#!/bin/bash
xfce4-screenshooter --region --save /home/$USER/"formula.jpg"
p2t predict -i ./formula.jpg > ./output 2>&1
sed -n '/Only texts:/,$p' /home/bob/output | grep -v 'Only te>

`This worked`

I wrote a noscript to execute a command and only get part of the output return out of it. But I failed, Now I need your help to make the noscript return output which is after the string "Only Texts:".

The Script I used it [ChatGPT helped with the selection part]

#!/bin/bash
xfce4-screenshooter --region --save /home/$USER/Pictures/Screenshots/"formula.jpg"
output=$(p2t predict -i ./formula.jpg)
out=$(echo "$output" | grep -oP 'Only texts:.*?\$\$')
echo "${out:12}"

The output I recieve if I echo `output` is

Execute local sh on remote machine

Hi guys, is there any way I can execute a noscript that's in my local machine on remote ones?

I need to run a series of test on several systems every day so, I made a noscript for It. Right now I have that noscript on a pen that I insert into each of those system, mount, and run but, if I could do this from my local machine it would be so much more efficient.


Any tips?
Thanks in advance.

Pull variables, with specific prefix, from env and create request

I have a bunch of noscripts like this one with a bunch of variables defined.

I'm looking for a way to not define all of those and perhaps pull them from the env if there's a variable prefixed with IM_.

Any suggestions on how to...

1. Pull all the variables?
2. Create the request body string?

how to make a noscript write to a permission dienied file?

I want to make a noscript to change the brightness of my screen, but i cant seem to get permision to write to that file. ive tryed all sorts of sudoing, even tee , but notthing works. help. Also is it possible to make this write to the file without asking for sudo password everytime i want to use it, without haveing to change the permissions for the brightness file itself. ther is a program called brightnessctl that basicly does this and i wanted to try to write my own version.

\#!/bin/bash

echo "How bright do you want me? (0-255) : "

read brightnessAmount

echo $brightnessAmount | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/brightness

behaviour of GLOBIGNORE changed?

So far I have used GLOBIGNORE to prevent ssh-add from trying to load my public keys. My .bashrc contains (contained ...)

GLOBIGNORE="*.pub"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id*

For a few days now I notice that ssh-add complains about permissions 0644 for my *.pub files so obviously it's trying to load them.

I changed the command to GLOBIGNORE="/home/*/.ssh/*.pub" and this helps, but I'm wondering if, when and why this changed, or am I totally on the wrong track?

I also tried the more generic /*/.ssh/*.pub (which would also work for /root) and this does not match for user home directories (only /root).

FWIW: our systems were upgraded from RHEL 7 to 8 recently, is there a connection?

A new paradigm file-manager

By accident I might stumble upon a new way of doing command line – in the project: [https://github.com/psprint/n-commodore](https://github.com/psprint/n-commodore). it is written in Zsh but can be run from any shell.

Basically it’s about 3 factors:

* panelize everything,
* grep everything,
* save everything.

Panelization is known from Midnight Commander - it means to capture command output into a list that can be browsed. Grepping is known from fzf. Screen saving is a new paradigm

In short, you have a new screen (a greppable panel) for each new command, which is saved to the disk (GDBM), and which can be fetched/navigated to, having also PWD dir and position in panel restored.

Interesting grep behaviour after power outage

Flagged as help but just to draw an expert opinion if you care to comment. I am can sort this out with another pass of grep.

I have many folders called say “monthA, monthB, monthC… monthZ”

Each contains numerous text files either do or do not contain the pairs of letters AA, BB,CC. I only want to keep the ones that do have them.

I started a bit of grep and pipe with this:

 -v -E -l -r ‘ AA| BB| CC’ month*/ | while read line; do ram “$line”; done;

It takes an hour to do each monthX file. We had a power cut. It stopped grepoing halfway through say monthD.

Power came back on. When I booted up and started the grep and pipe again it left monthD partially deleted and started on monthD.

I guess there’s a flag or algo decision somewhere and that is expected. I would have expected it to either start again at monthA or halfway through monthD. Anyone shed any light? I suppose it marks monthD as done when it closes it abruptly or something.

Is it okay to include bash noscripting in an embedded systems end of studies project?

I would love to see if there is anyone here who included it in his/her end of studies project. I tried to only use python with Raspberry Pi, since it seems more known in my university, but I keep having problems with the Speech Recognition module.

Now I'm considering using a bash noscript (and a microphone) to record audio and turn it into text, and using python within the noscript to read (via speakers) the final output based on the text.

TLDR: Do you think the professors within the jury will approve of using bash in an embedded systems end of studies project?

Why is it that a command run from the terminal command line produces line break but the same command run within bash noscript has no line break/

If I run the following commands

lsblk > junk2.txt

cat junk2.txt

I see output with line breaks in the output like

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS

loop0 7:0 0 285M 1 loop /snap/atom/282

loop1 7:1 0 284.9M 1 loop /snap/atom/286

loop2 7:2 0 4K 1 loop /snap/bare/5

&#x200B;

But if I put assign the output of that command to a noscript variable and then echo that variable

temp1=$(lsblk)
echo $temp1
My output has no line breaks

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS loop0 7:0 0 285M 1 loop /snap/atom/282 loop1 7:1 0 284.9M 1 loop /snap/atom/286 loop2 7:2 0 4K 1 loop /snap/bare/5

So why do I get line breaks with the first approach but not the second? Is the difference explained by different behaviors between cat vs. echo?

Thanks very much.

Storing a directory path as a variable, then passing it on to the 'ln -s' (symbolic link) command?

I stored directory in a variable:
var=$"'/media/disk2/video/001.mp4'"

I confirmed the directory was stored with the echo command:
echo $var
The directory is displayed with the quotation marks as desired.

I then tried to pass it on to ln -s:
ln -s $var 001_link.mp4

I get the error message:
ln: target '001_link.mp4': No such file or directory

DISCUSSION What if BASH could be used as a web server interpreter?

I've been BASHing for about 2 years now... it's changed my life.


The other day I was writing some code in PHP and it dawned on me, can I not find a way to run BASH as a web server interpreter?


Already I am managing SQL databases with BASH? I have used it to generate static HTML pages at regular time intervals. I have even used it to generate SVG and convert them into PDF files. It would be so nice to be able to make an index.sh rather than index.php... and I haven't yet found a problem I couldn't solve with BASH, except this?


Would like to get a discussion going and see what other people's views are, solely as a thought experiment. Would such an interpreter be practical and useful, or would it just be another dev tool in an ocean of dev tools?


No flaming please, I just want to have a righteous discussion/debate about if this sort of thing did exist now and how it would affect us as BASHers and/or the industry as a whole.
