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 $KSH_VERSION
โno guarantee
is made outside of this.
Local modifications, as indicated by a .local
suffix are intended for personal environments, that
may not be the default options on other systems.
For setting defaults based on the type of underlying
operating-system, place files in host/$(uname -s)
/,
e.g. host/Linux/foo-0
. Any corresponding files will
be loaded upon shell initialization.
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
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
