Here are a list of functions and programs that I have made, that are not available to the general public (mostly just because I am to lazy to set up the repos in pip etc).

My local functions

Here are a list of functions and programs that I have made, that are not available to the general public (mostly just because I am to lazy to set up the repos in pip etc).

I plan to make several functions here and you may or may not want all of them. For those that want them all, the install.sh script should work. Otherwise you can follow the example below for how to install individual functions.

Installing Individual Functions/Packages

First up you need to update your path, so you can run the functions regardless of where you are on your computer. Below are a few commands to make a ~/.local/bin folder and add that to your PATH for the current session as well as adding it to your ~/.zshrc file so that it permanently gets added to your path. Bash users should change ~/.zshrc to ~/.bashrc.

mkdir ~/.local/bin
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

Next, you will need to move over the relevant functions into your ~/.local/bin/ folder. This can be done with mv or preferrably a symbolic link, that way you can have access to any updates I make in the future. Below is an an example of using a symbolic link.

ln -s ~/git_repos/local_functions/shell/change_wallpaper.sh ~/.local/bin

Alternatively, for python packages specifically, they can be installed through pip. Below is the basic structure for installing a package. (Note, you still need to update your path for python packages as well).

python -m pip install -e PACKAGENAME
