It’s crazy that this project produced such a strong response from anyone.
I remember writing this old piece of shit around the same time:
https://github.com/iaindooley/pickdrop https://github.com/iaindooley/pickdrop
The first version was a poor implementation in a number of ways and all I got were constructive contributions on how to improve it!
Why was Heather ridiculed for her comparatively well written and documented project when I received an admittedly very small but generally positive and supportive response?
- forgotpwd16 4y agoFor something very simple, this is a cool idea. Two observations related to install.sh: i) /usr/local/bin/ rather /usr/bin/ is where manually--not handled by package manager--installed software is usually put, ii) chmod & cp are replaceable by a single install command. edit: And errriclee's gist seems very useful. For example can go around picking some files wanting to replace a string and then can do `run sed -i 's/old/new/' {}`.
- jwilk 4y agoMore comments about the install script: • #!/bin/bash is not portable. For example, on (some?) BSDs, bash is in /usr/local/bin/. • But you don't use any bash-specific features, so just #!/bin/sh would work. • Not everybody uses sudo. • How about a Makefile instead of a shell script?
