Hi!

Thank you for reporting your question!

When installing the package you will see a highlighted message:
"Execute the command below for 'bashacks' to take effect immediately:"

"echo '. /usr/bin/bashacks' >> \$HOME/.bashrc && source \$HOME/.bashrc"
Type 'bh' and press TAB twice.

The program does not respond to "bashacks" but to bh, then press TAB.

From then on, you choose the script that best suits your needs.

For questions, consult "man bashack".
