After emerge I ran $ broot Broot should be launched using a shell function. This function most notably makes it possible to cd from inside broot (see https://dystroy.org/broot/install-br/ for explanations). Can I install it now? [Y/n] Writing br shell function in /home/vitaly/.local/share/broot/launcher/bash/1. Creating link from /home/vitaly/.config/broot/launcher/bash/br to /home/vitaly/.local/share/broot/launcher/bash/1. /home/vitaly/.zshrc successfully patched, you can make the function immediately available with exec zsh The br function has been successfully installed. You may have to restart your shell or source your shell init files. Afterwards, you should start broot with br in order to use its full power. And in new terminal - still no br command. And bash is my default shell, not zsh.
It looks like it setup both bash *and* zsh.
It's installed the files containing the "br" shell function, but when it came to changing the shell configuration, it only did so for zsh. When I run the installer, I get these lines instead: /home/creideiki/.bashrc successfully patched, you can make the function immediately available with source /home/creideiki/.bashrc /home/creideiki/.bash_profile successfully patched, you can make the function immediately available with source /home/creideiki/.bash_profile (and nothing for zsh, since I do not use zsh and do not have a ~/.zshrc file) It looks for the files ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile to patch ( https://github.com/Canop/broot/blob/805c943964ca8f40e55e37f5f1f6867d326f668f/src/shell_install/bash.rs#L29 ). Do you have these files? If you run: BROOT_LOG=debug broot --install that will try to re-install the shell function and write a debug log file, broot.log. What does that log file say?
Solved on my side by adding manually to bashrc this line source /home/vitaly/.config/broot/launcher/bash/br copied from ~/.zshrc ----- Side question - no way to format a code here? No markdown?
$ BROOT_LOG=debug broot --install You requested a clean (re)install. Removing /home/vitaly/.config/broot/launcher/installed-v4. Removing /home/vitaly/.local/share/broot/launcher/bash/1. Writing br shell function in /home/vitaly/.local/share/broot/launcher/bash/1. Removing /home/vitaly/.config/broot/launcher/bash/br. Creating link from /home/vitaly/.config/broot/launcher/bash/br to /home/vitaly/.local/share/broot/launcher/bash/1. /home/vitaly/.zshrc already patched, no change made. The br function has been successfully installed. You may have to restart your shell or source your shell init files. Afterwards, you should start broot with br in order to use its full power.

(In reply to Vitaly Zdanevich from comment #5) > > It looks for the files ~/.bashrc > > Of root? Or all users? No, in the home directory of the user running broot. Judging from the other output, ~ is /home/vitaly/ for you. > I have them at /etc/bash/bashrc.d/ The usual setup is to only have system-wide configuration in /etc, and user-specific configuration in ~. broot only tries to alter the user-specific configuration in ~. The text printed contains enough information for you to add the configuration manually if you keep your user-specific configuration in a non-standard location.
