# imports

## `distros.sh`

Import the script inside your own script like this:

```bash
url="https://git.k4li.de/scripts/imports/raw/branch/main/distros.sh"
import="$(mktemp)"
if command_exists curl; then
  curl -fsSL $url -o $import
else
  echo "curl is required, but missing.."
  exit 1
fi

source "$import"
sleep 0.3
rm "$import"
```

So now that you have imported the [distros.sh](distros.sh) script, you can run some fancy things in your script..

### `distro-variables`

There are most of the big linux distros as a variable which contains boolean values.

For example, you can run things like..

```bash
if $arch; then
    echo "This system is using arch!"
elif $debian; then
    echo "This system is using debian!"
fi
```

> or..

```bash
case "$distros" in
    ubuntu)
        echo "Using ubuntu!"
    ;;
    arch)
        echo "Using archlinux!"
    ;;
    opensuse)
        echo "Using opensuse!"
    ;;
esac
```
