Inline script sources

Inline script sources (source or .).

It is convenient to be able to divide long scripts into many files to make them easier to work with while maintaining the ability to distribute them as a single script.

Inspired by @joehillen GitHub Gist

Features

• POSIX compliant

• Sourcing with quotes, spaces and more

• Sourcing from $PATH

• Sourcing from ShellCheck source: # shellcheck source=path/to/script.sh

  Warning: Available only if source or . is invalid

  # shellcheck source=path/to/script.sh
  . "$DIR/path/to/script.sh"

• Sources in sources

• Recursion detection

• Shebang (#!) removal in sources

• Skip source: # inline skip

  Note: Works with ShellCheck as well

  # inline skip
  # shellcheck source=path/to/script.sh
  . path/to/script.sh

• Configurable
  See Options

Download

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carlocorradini/inline/main/inline.sh

Usage

Warning: Script must have execute permission: chmod u+x ./inline.sh

Note: See Options for more configuration

Note: Type --help for more information

Pass the script to be aligned with --in-file path/to/script.sh
It creates a script called script.aligned.sh
The resulting script is automatically aligned: all sources (source or .) are directly included.

Examples

1. Inline script hello.sh and save it as world.sh

   ./inline.sh --in-file hello.sh --out-file world.sh

2. Inline script hello_world.sh and overwrite it

   ./inline.sh --in-file hello_world.sh --overwrite
