# ~/.bash.d — Modular Bash Configuration

This directory contains modular shell configuration files that are automatically sourced by `~/.bashrc` on every new shell session. Instead of maintaining one monolithic `.bashrc`, each concern lives in its own file — making the setup easier to understand, maintain, and extend.

## How It Works

Add the following to the end of your `~/.bashrc`:

```bash
for file in $HOME/.bash.d/*; do
	[[ -x $file ]] && source $file
done
```

This iterates over all files in `~/.bash.d/` and sources each one that has the **executable bit** set. Non-executable files are silently skipped, which provides a simple way to temporarily disable a configuration (just `chmod -x` the file).

Files are sourced in **lexicographic order**, so numeric prefixes control the load sequence. This matters because later files may depend on functions or variables defined by earlier ones.

## File Naming Convention

| Prefix | Purpose                          | Example                   |
|--------|----------------------------------|---------------------------|
| `00-`  | Helper functions (loaded first)  | `00-path-helper`          |
| `10-`  | PATH configuration               | `10-go-path`, `10-rust-path` |
| `20-`  | Build tool settings              | `20-ninja`                |
| `30-`  | Shell/prompt setup               | `30-starship`             |
| `50-`  | Shell completions                | `50-claude-completion`    |
| `99-`  | Credentials and app config (last)| `99-gemini`, `99-huggingface` |

Lower numbers load first, so foundational pieces like helper functions (`00-`) and PATH entries (`10-`) are available before anything that depends on them.

## Current Files

### Helpers (`00-`)

- **`00-path-helper`** — Defines `path_append` and `path_prepend` functions that safely add directories to `$PATH` (checking the directory exists and avoiding duplicates).
- **`00-credential-guard`** — Defines `require_private`, which warns at shell startup if a credential file has overly permissive permissions (anything beyond owner-only access).

### PATH (`10-`)

- **`10-bun-path`** — Adds Bun (JavaScript runtime) binaries to PATH.
- **`10-go-path`** — Sets `$GOPATH` and adds Go binaries to PATH.
- **`10-rust-path`** — Sets `$CARGO_HOME` and adds Cargo binaries to PATH.

### Build Tools (`20-`)

- **`20-ninja`** — Configures Ninja as the default CMake generator and enables ccache for C/C++ builds (only when installed).
- **`20-oneapi`** — Sources the Intel oneAPI environment and adds its libraries to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.

### Prompt (`30-`)

- **`30-starship`** — Initialises the [Starship](https://starship.rs) cross-shell prompt, if installed.

### Completions (`50-`)

- **`50-asdf-completion`** — Tab completion for the asdf version manager.
- **`50-claude-completion`** — Tab completion for [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) CLI.
- **`50-fj-completion`** — Tab completion for the Forgejo CLI (`fj`).
- **`50-tailscale-completion`** — Tab completion for Tailscale.
- **`50-uv-completion`** — Tab completion for [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) (Python package manager).

### Credentials & App Config (`99-`)

- **`99-android`** — Sets `$ANDROID_HOME`, `$JAVA_HOME`, and adds Android SDK tools to PATH (only when installed).
- **`99-claude.example`** — Template for Forgejo issue token for Claude Code integrations.
- **`99-gemini.example`** — Template for Gemini API key.
- **`99-google.example`** — Template for Google API key.
- **`99-huggingface.example`** — Template for HuggingFace token (`$HF_TOKEN`).
- **`99-replicate.example`** — Template for Replicate API token.

## Adding a New File

1. Create the file with the appropriate numeric prefix:
   ```bash
   vim ~/.bash.d/50-mytool-completion
   ```

2. Start the file with the shellcheck directive:
   ```bash
   # shellcheck shell=bash
   ```

3. Make it executable (required for it to be sourced):
   ```bash
   chmod +x ~/.bash.d/50-mytool-completion
   ```

4. For credential files, create a `.example` template and the real file:
   ```bash
   # Create the template (tracked in git)
   cat > ~/.bash.d/99-mytool.example << 'EOF'
   # shellcheck shell=bash
   # Copy to 99-mytool and fill in your token, then: chmod 700 99-mytool
   require_private "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}"
   export MY_SECRET_TOKEN=your-token-here
   EOF

   # Create the real file from the template
   cp ~/.bash.d/99-mytool.example ~/.bash.d/99-mytool
   # Edit 99-mytool and fill in your real secret
   chmod 700 ~/.bash.d/99-mytool
   ```
   Then add `99-mytool` to `.gitignore`.

5. Validate with shellcheck:
   ```bash
   shellcheck ~/.bash.d/50-mytool-completion
   ```

## Security

Credential files (`99-*`) are **excluded from git** via `.gitignore` and are never committed. Each credential has a tracked `.example` template with placeholder values. To set up credentials:

1. Copy the template: `cp 99-foo.example 99-foo`
2. Fill in your real secret
3. Restrict permissions: `chmod 700 99-foo`

Additional protections:

- **File permissions** — Credential files use mode `700` (owner-only).
- **Runtime checks** — The `require_private` helper warns on shell startup if a credential file has been accidentally loosened.
- **Never commit real secrets** — Only `.example` templates are tracked in git.
