In Fish shell, there is a dedicated command namely functions to manage and interact with Functions. But there isn’t a built-in command exactly like Fish shell’s functions command for managing functions in Bash. However, Bash provides other tools and techniques to achieve similar functionality. In this tutorial, we will learn how to manage Bash functions declare command effectively.
Table of Contents
We can create or define a function either directly in the ~/.bashrc file or save the functions in a separate files under a dedicated directory, for example ~/.bash_functions.
Storing all functions under a single directory allows you to keep your functions organized and easy to manage.
Create a dedicated directory for storing all functions:
mkdir ~/.bash_fucntions
Store Functions in Separate Files:
Save each function in a separate file under ~/.bash_functions/.
Let us create an example function named cdls.
nano ~/.bash_functions/cdls.sh
Add the following lines in it:
cdls () { cd "$@" && ls --color=auto }
Source Functions from ~/.bashrc:
Add the following lines to your ~/.bashrc to automatically load all function files:
for func_file in ~/.bash_functions/*.sh; do source "$func_file"done
You can now use the cdls function to list the contents of a directory automatically whenever you cd into it.
cdls Downloads/
Now, you can use the declare command to list, view, or delete functions as needed.
To list all currently defined functions in Bash, use the declare command with the -F option:
declare -F
This will output the names of all functions. If you want to see both the names and definitions, use:
declare -f
To view the definition of a specific function, use declare -f followed by the function name:
declare -f function_name
For example, to view the definition of a function called cdls, run:
declare -f cdls
Sample Output:
cdls () { cd "$@" && ls --color=auto }
To delete (unset) a function, use the unset command:
unset -f function_name
For example, to delete the cdls function:
unset -f cdls
To edit a function, you can either:
For example, to edit the cdls function:
declare -f cdls > /tmp/cdls.sh nano /tmp/cdls.sh source /tmp/cdls.sh
To save a function’s definition to a file, use declare -f and redirect the output:
declare -f function_name > filename.sh
For example, to save the cdls function to a file:
declare -f cdls > ~/.bash_functions/cdls.sh
To load a function from a file, use the source command:
source filename.sh
For example, to load the cdls function:
source ~/.bash_functions/cdls.sh
To copy a function to a new name, use declare -f and eval:
declare -f original_function > /tmp/temp_function sed 's/original_function/new_function/g' /tmp/temp_function | source /dev/stdin
For example, to copy cdls to mycdls:
declare -f cdls > /tmp/temp_function sed 's/cdls/mycdls/g' /tmp/temp_function | source /dev/stdin
To check if a function exists, use declare -F and grep:
if declare -F function_name > /dev/null; then echo "Function exists" else echo "Function does not exist" fi
List All Functions:
declare -F
View a Specific Function:
declare -f cdls
Delete a Function:
unset -f cdls
Save a Function to a File:
declare -f cdls > ~/.bash_functions/cdls.sh
Load a Function from a File:
source ~/.bash_functions/cdls.sh
While Bash doesn’t have a dedicated functions command like Fish shell, you can achieve similar functionality using the declare command. By storing functions in separate files and sourcing them from ~/.bashrc, you can keep your setup clean and organized.
