Nice good looks. You can also always get the newest version of bash using Homebrew.
I will also make a plug for ZSH shell. I have found it to be much more user friendly an absolute blast to work with. If you guys haven't checked it out yet, I would suggest giving it a shot. I'll give some instruction for Mac users, but this can easily be applied to Linux as well (just use apt-get
instead of brew
).
Steps:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install zsh
zsh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto.git "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprezto"
setopt EXTENDED_GLOB for rcfile in "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}"/.zprezto/runcoms/^README.md(.N); do ln -s "$rcfile" "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.${rcfile:t}" done
Now, if you like what you see, you can make ZSH your default shell (optional):
/usr/local/zsh
to your '/etc/shells' filechsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh
If you trust me, I have a Dotfiles repo with all of this preconfigured: https://github.com/ianks/dotfiles
I know not everyone is on here yet, but I know a few students have talked to me about the new exploit found in bash - shellshock.
There is already a fix available for Mac (as well as Linux) and you can find it here: https://shellshocker.net/#fix
