Getting Started and Installation

• Clone the repository.

  cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/debaraj-barua/.bashCustomizations.git

[Note] Using Conda with ROS Functionality

This has been taken from StefanFabian's gist

1. Remove the line that adds the anaconda bin folder to your PATH in the ~/.bashrc file (if you've let anaconda add itself to the PATH during installation)
2. Change _ROS_CONDA_PATH in conda_with_ros file @line 23 to the path of your Anaconda bin folder (if you didn't install it to ~/anaconda3)
3. Add the scripts mentioned above before any ROS setup bash files are sourced.

[Note] Random

In addition to useful bash scripts, the random directory has a list of known issues, workarounds and scripts not related to bash.

Package Specific Functionalities

Git

• Update prompt when in a git repository.
• Add branch details to prompt.
• Prompts updated according to git status
  • '*' for un-staged changes
  • '+' for staged changes
  • '$' if something is stashed
  • '%' if there are any un-tracked files

Node Package Manager (npm)

• Add functionality to enable auto complete features for npm cli.
• Sets npm install path to home

Using Anaconda with ROS

• As described before, this enables usage of anaconda for ROS users without running into conflicts.
• Enable and disable conda environments via the aliases mentioned in the table above.
• Updates the prompt to add conda identifier.
