[edit] For Beginners

There's tons of resources, because
1. this shell is beloved by many, many geeks; and
2. most of those geeks remember how very confused they were the first time they sat facing a blinking cursor prompt.

Rule #1: Don't Panic. Please. :)

[edit] Tweaking Bash's GUI and Behavior



  • bashlib:
    a shell script that makes CGI programming in the bash shell easier, or at least more tolerable. It contains a few functions that get called automatically and place form elements (from POSTs and GETs) and cookies in your environment. It also contains complete documentation on how to use these variables and how to set cookies manually.



  • fancybash:
    Showing login name, hostname and pts number resp. tty; count and size of files in the current directory and directory name; jobs running in the background; current time; — most important: fancy colours!

When you're working in bash, using fancybash, as an unprivileged user, the main colors are cyan/grey; they change to yellow/red when you become root (or another user with uid=0 privileges).

  • Image:Sourceforge.png Bash Navigator:
    eliminates the requirement that users must memorize long directory names, provides forward/back/next/previous navigation keys, and supports a rudimentary form of project management without reducing the flexibility of the BASH shell.


  • Image:Freshmeat_icon.png marks:
    a set of ksh or bash utilities that provides a mechanism for remembering long pathnames as shorter "mark" names. Marks are persistent across multiple shell invocations, and may be shared from user to user.
