#One-liner install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psygreg/sloth-bash/main/install.sh | bash

#Features

  • Intuitive response: just the file name will run it if executable; load a venv if there's any and wrap it in python3 if it's a .py file; or trigger xdg-open for other cases.
  • Flatpak redirection: simplifies running flatpak applications from terminal by making flatpak run obsolete through smart command handling. No more io.github.kolunmi.Bazaar, just bazaar will do the trick!
  • Easily open apps from terminal automatically detaching them with detach appname. Perfect for usage with something like Quake Terminal for Gnome or yakuake Also works with flatpak redirection, local executables, and distrobox passthrough.
  • cp and mv redirection to rsync: make your file operations more efficient with rsync's delta copies, while also getting it to smartly display progress on larger tasks.
  • Simple file management in your shell: automatic ls after cd so you never get lost in your files, and enabled autocd shell option so you can navigate your subdirectories more intuitively.
  • Most used zsh shortcuts: md, rd, mkcd, take, ~ and .. work exactly like zsh, while you can use cd ..., cd .... and cd ..... for the other upwards navigation commands.
  • all: selects all files and subdirectories at its location as targets for rd, rm, cp and mv.
  • Better autocompletion with Tab key cycling through all options instead of just displaying them.
  • FZF shell bindings: if fzf is installed, sloth-bash enables the standard Bash integration, including fuzzy history search on Ctrl+R.
  • Basic command colors: enables colored output for ls, dir, vdir and grep, plus familiar aliases like ll, la and l.
  • Case-insensitive command parsing:, ls, Ls, lS or LS, your command will always work.
  • Distrobox passthrough: enter your distrobox shell with distroboxname and pass commands to your distroboxes running distroboxname command (and any additional arguments if needed after). As distroboxes follow the user's ~/.bashrc file, sloth-bash also works from within them!

#Recommended usage

  • Install Starship for the complete experience.
  • Install fzf if you want the full fuzzy shell bindings.
  • Copy sloth-bash to ~/.sloth-bash
  • Copy alias-list to ~/.alias-list
  • Copy starship.toml to ~/.config/starship.toml (not required if you don't wanna use Starship)
  • Add source ~/.sloth-bash to the end of your ~/.bashrc file
