I would be very surprised if these four very similar-looking constructs could not be refactored into a single shell script that is then called four times with different parameters. Something like #!/bin/sh from= while case "$1" in --no-hardlinks) NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS=t ;; --from=*) from="${1#*=}" ;; *) break ;; esac; do shift done test $# -gt 3 || { echo "Usage: $0 [--no-hardlinks] <from-dir> <to-dir> <file>..." >&2 exit 1 } fromdir="$1" todir="$2" shift shift for p in "$@" do $RM "$todir/$p" && test -n "$INSTALL_SYMLINKS" && ln -s "$fromdir/${from:-$p}" "$todir/$p" || { test -z "$NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS" && ln "$fromdir/${from:-$p}" "$todir/$p" || ln -s "$fromdir/${from:-$p}" "$todir/$p" || cp "$fromdir/${from:-$p}" "$todir/$p" || exit; } done and then calling it using test "$bindir/" = "$execdir/" || link-or-copy ${NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS:+--no-hardlinks} \ "$bindir" "$execdir" $list_bindir_standalone link-or-copy --from=git$X "$bindir" "$bindir" $list_bindir_git_dashed link-or-copy --from=git$X "$bindir" "$execdir" $list_bindir_git_dashed link-or-copy --from=git-remote-http$X "$bindir" "$execdir" $list_execdir_curl_aliases That would at least DRY up this mess a bit.
