homeshick for openSUSE
Target audience
This package contains a single shared installation of homeshick suitable for
users. It provides the default homeshick command ready for use without
configuration.
Setup
To gain full functionality (the homeshick cd command), and maximum comfort of
use (e.g., auto-completion), it is necessary for shell startup scrips to source
a homeshick setup script. The normal installation instructions for homeshick
explain how to do it:
homeshick installation instructions
When following those instructions, any mention of cloning the homeshick git
repository can be ignored, obviously. Also, the path
$HOME/.homesick/repos/homeshick should be substituted with
/usr/share/homeshick to access the corresponding files installed by this
package.
For example, when the installation instructions tell you to run
printf '\nsource "$HOME/.homesick/repos/homeshick/homeshick.sh"' >> $HOME/.bashrc
you should instead run
printf '\nsource "/usr/share/homeshick/homeshick.sh"' >> $HOME/.bashrc
Hackers and developers
The default method of installing homeshick is for each user to make a private clone of the upstream repository from Github. For users that want to modify the implementation, and maybe make contributions to homeshick, that remains the way to go about it.
A git clone and this package can co-exist. Assuming that the setup scripts have
been sourced, as instructed above, the environment variable HOMESHICK_DIR can
be used to control which instance of homeshick is run, the default being the
instance installed by this package.
