Bash Utilities Installer

Cross-platform script to install and configure popular CLI utilities for Bash.

Supported Utilities

• zoxide: Smarter cd command that learns your habits
• starship: Fast, customizable prompt
• carapace: Multi-shell completion generator
• bat: Cat clone with syntax highlighting
• ripgrep: Fast grep replacement
• fd: Fast find replacement
• xh: Friendly HTTP client (like httpie but faster)

Commands

Install All Utilities

Copybash .claude/skills/bash-install-utils/install.sh --all

Install Specific Utilities

Copybash .claude/skills/bash-install-utils/install.sh zoxide starship

Check Installation Status

Copybash .claude/skills/bash-install-utils/install.sh --list

Setup Bash Integration Only

If utilities are already installed, just configure .bashrc:

Copybash .claude/skills/bash-install-utils/install.sh --setup

What It Does

1. Installs utilities using apt where available, or downloads pre-built binaries from GitHub releases
2. Sets up bash integration by adding initialization to ~/.bashrc:
   • zoxide init
   • starship prompt
   • carapace completions
   • Useful aliases (cat->bat, etc.)

Installation Methods

After Installation

Run one of:

Copysource ~/.bashrc
# or start a new terminal

Bash Integration Added

The script adds a managed block to ~/.bashrc:

Copy# >>> bash-utils-init >>>
# Zoxide - smarter cd
eval "$(zoxide init bash)"

# Starship prompt
eval "$(starship init bash)"

# Carapace completions
source <(carapace _carapace bash)

# Bat aliases
alias cat="bat --paging=never"
alias less="bat"
# <<< bash-utils-init <<<

Re-running the installer will update this block.
