-# Bash
-
-For those who are not familiar,
-[Bash](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)>) is a Unix shell that
-is used as the default login shell for most Linux distributions. This shell and
-command processor should be familiar if you've used Linux (or older version of
-macOS) before.
-
-However, bash is not the only option. There are numerous other shells that
-exist. Here are some popular examples:
-
--   [zsh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell)
--   [fish](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_(Unix_shell)>)
--   [oksh](https://github.com/ibara/oksh)
--   [mksh](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mksh)
--   [dash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_Almquist_shell)
-
-While each shell has its differences, bash is POSIX compliant and the default
-for many Linux users. Because of this, I am going to explore a program called
-`bash-it` below that helps bash users increase the utility of their shell
-without installing a completely new shell.
-
-## Installation
-
-First, if bash is not already installed on your system, you can [download bash
-from GNU](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) or use your package manager to
-install it.
-
-For example, this is how you can install bash on Fedora Linux:
-
-```sh
-sudo dnf install bash
-```
-
-If you are not using bash as your default shell, use the `chsh` command to
-change your shell:
-
-```sh
-chsh
-```
-
-You should see a prompt like the one below. If the brackets (`[]`) contain
-`bash` already, you're done, and you can simply continue by hitting the Enter
-key.
-
-If the brackets contain another shell path (e.g. `/usr/bin/zsh`), enter the path
-to the bash program on your system (it's most likely located at
-`/usr/bin/bash`).
-
-```sh
-Changing shell for <user>.
-New shell [/usr/bin/bash]:
-```
-
-You must log out or restart the machine in order for the login shell to be
-refreshed. You can do it now or wait until you're finished customizing the
-shell.
-
-```sh
-sudo reboot now
-```
-
-# Bash-it
-
-As noted on the [Bash-it](https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it) repository:
-
-> Bash-it is a collection of community Bash commands and scripts for Bash 3.2+.
-> (And a shameless ripoff of oh-my-zsh 😃)
-
-Bash-it makes it easy to install plugins, set up aliases for common commands,
-and easily change the visual theme of your shell.
-
-## Installation
-
-To install the framework, simply copy the repository files and use the
-`install.sh` script provided. If you want, you can (and should!) inspect the
-contents of the installation script before you run it.
-
-```sh
-git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it.git ~/.bash_it
-~/.bash_it/install.sh
-```
-
-If you didn't restart your session after making bash the default, and are
-currently working within another shell, be sure to enter a bash session before
-using `bash-it`:
-
-```sh
-bash
-```
-
-## Aliases
-
-Bash-it contains a number of aliases for common commands to help improve
-efficiency in the terminal. To list all available options, use the following
-command:
-
-```sh
-bash-it show aliases
-```
-
-This will provide you a list that looks like the following text block. Within
-this screen, you will be able to see all available options and which ones are
-currently enabled.
-
-```txt
-Alias                Enabled?   Description
-ag                   [ ]        the silver searcher (ag) aliases
-ansible              [ ]        ansible abbreviations
-apt                  [ ]        Apt and dpkg aliases for Ubuntu and Debian distros.
-atom                 [ ]        Atom.io editor abbreviations
-bash-it              [ ]        Aliases for the bash-it command (these aliases are automatically included with the "general" aliases)
-bolt                 [ ]        puppet bolt aliases
-bundler              [ ]        ruby bundler
-clipboard            [ ]        xclip shortcuts
-composer             [ ]        common composer abbreviations
-curl                 [x]        Curl aliases for convenience.
-...
-```
-
-To enable an alias, do:
-
-```sh
-bash-it enable alias  <alias name> [alias name]... -or- $ bash-it enable alias all
-```
-
-To disable an alias, do:
-
-```sh
-bash-it disable alias <alias name> [alias name]... -or- $ bash-it disable alias all
-```
-
-## Plugins
-
-Similar to aliases, plugins are available with bash-it. You can find a complete
-list of plugins in the same way as aliases. Simply execute the following:
-
-```sh
-bash-it show plugins
-```
-
-You will see the following output showing enabled and disabled plugins:
-
-```txt
-Plugin               Enabled?   Description
-alias-completion     [ ]
-autojump             [ ]        Autojump configuration, see https://github.com/wting/autojump for more details
-aws                  [ ]        AWS helper functions
-base                 [x]        miscellaneous tools
-basher               [ ]        initializes basher, the shell package manager
-battery              [x]        display info about your battery charge level
-blesh                [ ]        load ble.sh, the Bash line editor!
-boot2docker          [ ]        Helpers to get Docker setup correctly for boot2docker
-browser              [ ]        render commandline output in your browser
-```
-
-To enable a plugin, do:
-
-```sh
-bash-it enable plugin  <plugin name> [plugin name]... -or- $ bash-it enable plugin all
-```
-
-To disable a plugin, do:
-
-```sh
-bash-it disable plugin <plugin name> [plugin name]... -or- $ bash-it disable plugin all
-```
-
-## Themes
-
-There are quite a few pre-defined
-[themes](https://bash-it.readthedocs.io/en/latest/themes-list/#list-of-themes)
-available with bash-it.
-
-To list all themes:
-
-```sh
-ls ~/.bash_it/themes/
-```
-
-To use a new theme, you'll need to edit `.bashrc` and alter the `BASH_IT_THEME`
-variable to your desired theme. For example, I am using the `zork` theme.
-
-```sh
-nano ~/.bashrc
-```
-
-```sh
-export BASH_IT_THEME='zork'
-```
-
-Once you save your changes, you just need to exit your terminal and create a new
-one in order to see your changes to the `.bashrc` file. You can also `source`
-the file to see changes, but I recommend starting a completely new shell
-instead.
-
-### ble.sh
-
-One big feature I was missing in Bash that both `zsh` and `fish` have is an
-autosuggestion feature. To explain: as you type, an autosuggestion feature in
-the shell will offer suggestions in a lighter font color beyond the characters
-already typed. Once you see the command you want, you can click the right arrow
-and have the shell auto-complete that line for you.
-
-Luckily, the [Bash Line Editor](https://github.com/akinomyoga/ble.sh) (ble.sh)
-exists! This program provides a wonderful autosuggestions feature perfectly,
-among other features that I haven't tested yet.
-
-In order to install ble.sh, execute the following:
-
-```sh
-git clone --recursive https://github.com/akinomyoga/ble.sh.git
-make -C ble.sh install PREFIX=~/.local
-echo 'source ~/.local/share/blesh/ble.sh' >> ~/.bashrc
-```
-
-Again, exit the terminal and open a new one in order to see the newly-configured
-shell.
-
-# Restart the Session
-
-Finally, as mentioned above, you'll need to restart the session to ensure that
-your user is using bash by default.
-
-You will also need to exit and re-open a shell (e.g., terminal or terminal tab)
-any time you make changes to the `.bashrc` file.
-
-```sh
-sudo reboot now
-```
