Ask HN: Best things in your bash_profile/aliases?

Re:Ask HN: Best things in your bash_profile/aliases? by carl-erwin on Monday January 14, 2019 @05:40AM (#18902062)

One thing I do is to put this snippet in .bashrc or .profile

  for i in ${HOME}/.bash.d/*.sh
  do
    if [ -r ${i} ] ; then
        . ${i}
    fi
  done

And drop some custom scripts in ${HOME}/.bash.d/ like alias.sh, env.sh

(my common .bash.d scripts are saved in a git repository)

Whoa, I know someone who does exactly this. Is this a common pattern?

Unless you're him!

.d is a common Unix include directory pattern. See cron.d, xinetrc.d, conf.d etc. Packages can just add/remove things to the include dir rather than modifying the main config.

I do that in my dotfiles too:

The main include:

https://github.com/skx/dotfiles/blob/master/.bashrc

The actual dotfiles:

(People usually copy the literate emacs configuration ..)
