Text, samples and references for my 'Effective Shell' series. This website is hosted at effective-shell.com.

If you find this book useful, please do consider sponsoring me to help support my open-source work!

Introduction

This repository contains all of the content for the Effective Shell online book.

Installing the Samples

You can install the samples into your ~/effective-shell folder with this command:

curl effective.sh | sh

Or can also manually download them using from any of these locations:

The one-line shell installer is hosted at github.com/dwmkerr/effective-shell-installer

The Website

The content in this repository is built into a static site available at effective-shell.com. This site is generated using Docusaurus.

This section contains information on how to built, use and edit the site. To help you quickly edit the site, some tips are below:

Building the Website

To setup dependencies, run:

make setup

To test that TypeScript types compile, run:

make typescript-check

To serve the site locally, run:

make serve

To build the site, run:

make build

The built site is generated at ./build.

Note that the samples folder is automatically zipped up and added to the website, meaning it can be downloaded directly from:

https://effective-shell.com/downloads/effective-shell-samples.zip
https://effective-shell.com/downloads/effective-shell-samples.tar.gz

Custom Components

Custom Components to support styling are available at:

src/components

There is a live view that can be used to preview each component:

http://localhost:3000/zz-developer-guide/components

Components can be added to global scope, i.e. available in call pages, by adding to the MDXComponents.js swizzled file:

src/theme/MDXComponents.js

Versioning

The version of the site and the code is defined in the package.json file.

Releasing in managed via Release Please in the release-please.yaml workflow file.

If you need to manually trigger a release, run:

git commit --allow-empty -m "chore: release 2.0.0" -m "Release-As: 2.0.0"
