f, a function tracking system

What, Why?

Having a dotfiles repository is the first step to having a consistent commandline interface wherever you login. f adds to that by having a place to add and remove shell functions. These can be as simple as aliases (f l1 'command ls -1 "$@"') or full blown shell programs. Either way, you can then cd f, git add -A, git ci -m "new functions", git push.

Or, better yet, store that as one f command:

$ f commitf 'pushd `f`
> git add -A
> if [[ $# -gt 0 ]]; then
>   git ci -m "$1"
> else
>   git ci -m
> fi
> git push --quiet && echo "Pushed" || echo "Could not push.  Try pulling first"
> popd'
Adding commitf
$ commitf

Usage:

  f [options] [function] [code [...]]

For ease of entering functions using !!, ALL arguments, not just the third, are included.

Options:

  -h, --help        Show this help screen
  -l, --list        List functions
  -e, --edit $fn    Use \$EDITOR to edit the function file named $fn

Notes:

$F_PATH is where you want your functions to be stored. It should be in version control $F_PATH.local is a local place to store functions, and it should probably not be in version control If f is run with no arguments, it will RELOAD and LIST all of the functions. If it is given a function name, it will display that function. If it is given a function and code, it will create that function. If it is run AS a command, e.g. f, it will output $F_PATH.

Examples:

$ l1
  -bash: l1: command not found
$ f l1 'command ls -1 "$@"'
  Adding l1
$ f --list
  ...
  l1
  ...
$ f l1

  function l1 () {
    command ls -1 "$@"
  }

  export -f l1

$ l1
  README.md
  f.sh
  unctions
$ f l1 -
  Removing l1
$ l1
  -bash: l1: command not found

INCLUDED FUNCTIONS

• contains: contains "test" "es" => "es" (truthy) contains "test" "se" => "" (falsy)

• g: runs a git command, or "git status" if no args are passed.

• give: git checkout live && git merge $branch && git push $origin live && git checkout $branch

• gpp: git pull $origin $branch && git push $origin $branch

• gull: git pull $origin $branch

• gush: git

• headers: alias for curl -i -k -L --head --silent

• indexof: Can be used to search within a string, or within an array.

  If you want to search an array, you must use '--' as the second-to-last argument. Otherwise there's no easy way to know if you want to search a one-item-list, or a string.

  If you are searching a zero-length array for "--", you are outta luck. indexof "howdy" "d" => 3 indexof h o w d y -- d => 3 indexof d -- d => 0 indexof -- d => '' indexof -- --` => 0

• l1: alias for ls -1

• la: alias for ls -la

• now: prints a timestamp, or the date formatted with $1 (using $NOW_TIMEZONE or $2)

• qs: Does a "quicksearch", aka "command-t", for a file. Easier to use it than explain it

• replace: echo ${1//$2/$3}, which is to say replace test t b => besb

• sizeof: alias for du -sh

• title: Writes $1 to the terminal title.

• whatismyip: curl --silent http://automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.asp

• where: alias for find * -name "$1"

TODO

• Add support for f --help function
