About

This repository contains my current MirBSD shell (mksh) configuration files, structured in such a way that allows for ease of portability.

While not strictly supported, there is an effort to maintain backwards compatibility with ksh93, and as such, should work for the most part. I have not found any problems whilst using ksh93 with the provided configuration; this is mostly done by checking the value of $KSH_VERSION—no guarantee is made outside of this.

Local modifications, as indicated by a .local suffix are intended for personal environments, that may not be the default options on other systems.

For setting defaults based on the type of underlying operating-system, place files in host/$(uname -s)/, e.g. host/Linux/foo-0. Any corresponding files will be loaded upon shell initialization.

Setup

Copy .mkshrc to your home directory and create a symlink to .kshrc, whilst ensuring that ~/.shrc.d exists too.

$ cp -fv .mkshrc ~ ; mkdir ~/.shrc.d
$ (cd ~ || return ; ln -sf .mkshrc .kshrc)

Lastly, copy the remaining shell configuration over.

$ cp -frv [0-9]-* host ~/.shrc.d

And like that, you are done!

Alternatively, git clone this repository into ~/.shrc.d, just make sure you have copied .mkshrc and created an accompanying symlink to .kshrc in your home directory.

You can of course just clone to another location such as ~/.config/mksh and create a symlink from ~/.shrc.d. The choice is up to you.

$ cd ~ || return
$ ln -sf .config/mksh .shrc.d
$ ln -sf .config/mksh/.mkshrc .mkshrc
$ ln -sf .config/mksh/.mkshrc .kshrc

Oneliner

Quick n' dirty oneliner to skip all the noise.

git clone https://github.com/lcook/.shrc.d ~/.shrc.d;cd ~ && for f in .mkshrc .kshrc .shrc;do ln -sf .shrc.d/.mkshrc $f;done||return
