How to install is.sh
npm install -g is.sh is.sh use case
Write clear and readable conditional statements in bash scripts, replacing the traditional 'test' command.
When to use is.sh
- When writing bash scripts that require human-readable numeric, string, or file conditionals
- When performing portable numeric comparisons (e.g., equality, greater-than, less-than) without relying on arithmetic context
- When checking file properties (exists, directory, etc.) with intuitive syntax
When not to use is.sh
- When already using native bash test/bracket commands and readability is not a concern
- When the script must run in environments where sourcing an external script is impractical
- When complex logical combinations (AND/OR) are needed beyond simple sequential conditions
is.sh features
- · Numeric comparisons (equal, gt, lt, ge, le)
