Action Required: Fix Renovate Configuration

samefile

⚖️ a portable, POSIX-compliant implementation of Bash’s -ef test

Installation

L337

Make sure the executable named samefile in bin/ is either

moved into a directory in $PATH, or
added to $PATH.

Oh My Zsh

clone the repostory:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/LucasLarson/samefile "${ZSH_CUSTOM:-${HOME}/.oh-my-zsh/custom}"/plugins/samefile

Next, open the .zshrc file in your home directory
insert the word samefile between the parentheses on the line that begins with plugins=.
save and close the file, then source it with . "${HOME}"/.zshrc.

Usage

# not this
[ path/to/some/file -ef path/to/another/file ]
# and definitely not this
[[ path/to/some/file -ef path/to/another/file ]]

# but rather this
samefile path/to/some/file path/to/another/file
# or this
samefile --verbose path/to/some/file path/to/another/file
# or this
samefile -v path/to/some/file path/to/another/file

# returns a `0` exit status on success and `1` for failure
# just like `[`, `[[`, and `test`

Bash’s -ef and samefile both check that two files aren’t just similar, but are

the same exact file on
the same exact machine and have
the same exact inode values.

But only samefile properly runs on a maximally portable POSIX-conformant interpreter where stat is also installed. samefile works just fine in Bash environments, too.

	main() {
	# find if two files refer to the device and inode numbers
	# usage: samefile [-v\|--verbose] file1 file2
	# return 0 if they match
	if [ "${1}" = -v ] \|\| [ "${1}" = --verbose ]; then
	set -x
	shift
	fi

	# stat
	# `-L` to dereference symbolic links # https://superuser.com/a/196655
	# `-c` to display %d for device and
	# %i for inode
	[ "$(stat -L -c %d:%i "${1}")" = "$(stat -L -c %d:%i "${2}")" ] && return 0 \|\| return 1
	{ set +x; } 2>/dev/null

	}
