I wrote a bash git-install script. Toward the end, I do: | |
echo "Edit ~/.bash_profile to load ~/.git-completioin.bash on Terminal launch" | |
echo "source ~/.git-completion.bash" >> ~/.bash_profile | |
The problem is, if you run the script more than once, you end up appending this line multiple times to ~/.bash_profile. How do I use bash scripting with grep or sed (or another option you may recommend) to only add the line if it doesn't yet exist in the file. Also, I want to add the line to ~/.profile if that file exists and ~/.bash_profile doesn't exist, otherwise just add it to ~/.bash_profile. |
