They aim to emulate the behavior [as described for Zsh](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Functions.html#Hook-Functions).\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://bashhub.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://bashhub.com/static/web/images/bashhub-logo.png\" alt=\"Bashhub Logo\" width=\"200\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\nThis project is currently being used in production by [Bashhub](https://github.com/rcaloras/bashhub-client), [iTerm2](https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2), and [Ghostty](https://ghostty.org/). Hype!\n\n## Quick Start\n```bash\n# Pull down our file from GitHub and write it to your home directory as a hidden file.\ncurl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec/master/bash-preexec.sh -o ~/.bash-preexec.sh\n# Source our file to bring it into our environment\nsource ~/.bash-preexec.sh\n# Define a couple functions.\npreexec() { echo \"just typed $1\"; }\nprecmd() { echo \"printing the prompt\"; }\n```\n\n## Install\nYou\u0027ll want to pull down the file and add it to your bash profile/configuration (i.e ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, etc). **It must be the last thing imported in your bash profile.**\n```bash\n# Pull down our file from GitHub and write it to your home directory as a hidden file.\ncurl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec/master/bash-preexec.sh -o ~/.bash-preexec.sh\n# Source our file at the end of our bash profile (e.g. ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, or ~/.bash_profile)\necho \u0027[[ -f ~/.bash-preexec.sh ]] \u0026\u0026 source ~/.bash-preexec.sh\u0027 \u003e\u003e ~/.bashrc\n```\n\n## Usage\nTwo functions **preexec** and **precmd** can now be defined and they\u0027ll be automatically invoked by bash-preexec if they exist.\n\n* `preexec` Execute",
