For this +purpose I first have to extend my `$PATH` environment variable with the +location for personal scripts which is standardized by the cross desktop group +(XDG). For this purpose I add this to my `~/.bashrc` file: + + PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH + +Then I clone this repository: + + cd ~/.local/bin + git clone https://cgit.xengineering.eu/scripts + +And finally I link the scripts I need on this machine via symbolic links: + + ln -s ./scripts/url.sh url + +The result is that I can call e.g. the `url.sh` script from any location just +by typing `url`. I can also add machine-specific script in the `~/.local/bin` +folder or rename the `url.sh` script via a different name in the symlink. |
