I want to share my list of aliases, functions and scripts with a friend

Sometimes it's good to share your own useful commands and scripts with your friends or coworkers.

Imagine you have a common alias file, .k8s_commands, and a script, .connect_to_staging_db.sh.

They're both stored in GitHub and registered in bee.

If you invoke:

bee -ls

that will make Bee print details about all of the registered sources, in JSON format:

[
  {
    "Name": ".k8s_commands",
    "Path": "https://path/in/github/.k8s_commands",
  },
  {
    "Name": ".connect_to_staging_db.sh",
    "Path": "https://path/in/github/.connect_to_staging_db.sh",
  },
]

You can pipe this to a file:

bee -ls > $HOME/.my_sources.json

and move to a Git repo:

mv $HOME/.my_sources.json /path/to/some/git/repo/.my_sources.json
