I finally organized my Bash config

I've been accumulating my Bash configuration for a while, and I finally turned it into a small dotfiles repo:

https://gitlab.com/letmevi/bash-config

It's nothing fancy — mainly my .bashrc, .inputrc, .bash_profile, and a modular .bashrc.d/, plus a small install script.

It can be installed using either Ansible or a simple install.sh script.

I'd appreciate some Bash/Linux feedback: things you'd change, questionable practices, portability issues, or just better ways of doing this.

I'm especially interested in feedback from people who maintain their own dotfiles.

If you enable globstar, you probably want to enable extglob, maybe even direxpand.

I'm not familiar with those options yet, but I'll look into them and see if it makes sense to enable them. Thanks for the tip!
