What is the best way for storing and versioning his aliases/functions/symlinks?












0














actually I have these lines (exemplary) in my .zshrc file:



. ${TOOLS_HOME}/cli/.cli_base
. ${TOOLS_HOME}/cli/.cli_functions
. ${TOOLS_HOME}/cli/.cli_symlinks


This works fine so far. My only problem is, that in these .cli_xxx files I don't have syntax highlighting (For aliases this is ok - but for functions this is very hard).

So I tried this one:



. ${TOOLS_HOME}/cli/cli_base.sh
. ${TOOLS_HOME}/cli/cli_functions.sh
. ${TOOLS_HOME}/cli/cli_symlinks.sh


But (as I red over google) the . is like source and when I source my .zshrc file and execute an alias I sometimes get this error message:



bash:30: maximum nested function level reached


Thats because of the "multi source"??

Somebody have like a "best practice" for storing and versioning aliases/functions/symlinks or do I have to stay with my .cli_xxxx files??

    If the only issue is syntax highlighting, then this should not affect what you call your files. Instead, figure out how you can signal to your editor what syntax highlighting it should use from within the file itself. What editor are you using?

  • actually mostly I use atom - so you say this is the right way what I am doing (with dotfiles)?

    Well, you say that you have something that works. Why break it for the sake of syntax highlighting? Unfortunately I've never used Atom, so I can't really say whether it support modelines, but that's what this feature is usually called. A quick search gave me atom.io/packages/modeline
