This post demonstrates how to create customized functions to bundle commands in a .bash_profile file on Mac.

2. Enter “cd ~/” to go to home folder
3. Edit .bash_profile with “open -e .bash_profile” to open in TextEdit.
4. Enter “. .bash_profile” to reload .bash_profile.

Examples

To bundle common git operations, add the following to .bash_profile file:

function lazy_git() {
    git checkout test_ver
    git add .
    git commit -a -m "$1"
    git checkout master
    git merge test_ver
    git push
    git checkout test_ver
}

To bundle common jekyll operations, add the following to .bash_profile file:

The command serve runs localhost.

function lazy_jekyll_serve() {
    cd /Users/tester/gitHubRepo/ChuaCheowHuan.github.io
    pwd
    bundle exec jekyll serve
}

The command build build the site. This command is neccessary for generating sitemap.xml & robot.txt.

function lazy_jekyll_build() {
    cd /Users/tester/gitHubRepo/ChuaCheowHuan.github.io
    pwd
    bundle exec jekyll build
}
