Opal Framework

Opal is a command line framework for Bash users. The Opal Framework can be found on Github.

Each person creates their own dotfiles. There’s often a lot of copying between them, and even between multiple configs for a specific person. Scripting in Bash can be challenging. Opal is a framework that fixes these two issues, by providing a cohesive set of files to create a strong, common foundation.

This foundation is easily re-used across users and machines. Opal is designed to be easily extended, allowing you to add your custom configuration on top of it. Opal also provides a Bash scriptiong layer.

Put simply, Opal is a collection of unix/linux dotfiles and utilities, reusable across machines and users, for people who love the command line.

Version

This covers version 3 of Opal. So much work was done to create a scripting layer for Bash, documentation became necessary.
