init

Scripts and packages to help get my systems going.

Order to Run Scripts

• setups.sh
• linkify.sh
• installs.sh
• setupdropbox.sh
• setupwine.sh
• dogets.sh
• dobuilds.sh
• init.sios.sh

Code Standards

These are the basic principles of running install scripts for testability, readability, and consistency.

Usage and Arguments (Header)

#!/bin/bash -

CURRENT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
source "$CURRENT_DIR/../helpers/helpers.sh"
trap cleanup SIGINT SIGTERM

read -r -d '' USAGE << "EOF"
---- Description ----

optional arguments:
-h    Print this help and exit
-n    Test run

EOF

dryrun=
optstring=hn
while getopts $optstring opt ; do
    case $opt in
    h) echo "$USAGE" ; exit 255 ;;
    n) dryrun=true ;;
    esac
done

Organizing

Use bash functions for each piece. End the script with a main() function that simply runs the other functions.

Check error codes (typically store $? in $err) as you go. Output when something errors out.

main()
{
    do_some_logic
    get_first
    get_something_else
}
main
