🌸 NAME 🌸

bashmount — it's the tool that mounts and unmounts your removable media, no cap 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bashmount

that's it. that's the whole invocation. she takes no args, she just goes 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

bashmount is a menu-driven bash script that can use different backends to easily mount, unmount or eject removable devices — and the way it does all of this with zero dependencies on any GUI?? iconic, honestly 👑

and there's more: an extensive configuration file lets you modify many aspects of the script, plus you can run custom commands on devices. it's giving "I contain multitudes" 🧚

lowkey the best part: bashmount can also be used alongside any automounting solutions, like:

  • graphical file managers 🖼️
  • udev rules ⚙️
  • Udiskie 🐧

so it's not even a "pick me" situation, she plays nice with everyone fr fr 🫶

📁 FILES 📁

  • /etc/bashmount.conf — the default configuration file, periodt. and if you wanna see what one actually looks like, there's an example configuration file waiting for you at <https://github.com/jamielinux/bashmount/blob/master/bashmount.conf> ✨
  • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bashmount/config — the user-specific configuration file, aka your personal little corner of the setup 🎀

💀 BUGS 💀
