Linux

Not exactly a single script, but I use scm breeze for git stuff. Has a ton of QoL features for working with git

Polls for potential zombie processes:

# Survive the apocalypse
function zombies () {
  ps -elf | grep tsc | awk '{print $2}' | while read pid; do
    lsof -p $pid | grep cwd | awk '{printf "%-20s ", $2; $1=""; print $9}'
  done
}

export -f zombies
alias zeds="watch -c -e -n 1 zombies"

I alias traditional stuff to better, usually drop-in versions of that thing on computers that have the better thing. I often forget which systems have the better thing, so this helps me get the better experience if I was able to install it at some point. For example I alias cat to bat, or top to htop, or dig to drill, etc.

I wrote this suite of scripts a few years ago and still use them to:

1. Boot into Ventoy and select a Debian Live environment
2. Optional: connect a storage device (local partition, USB drive, etc) for persistent storage
3. Modify cfg/cfg.sh if it's the first time using the tool
4. Run setup.sh to configure the environment into a familiar/productive state

The tools are flexible on hardware (more directed toward x64 systems at this time), and I (almost) never have to worry about OS upgrades. Just boot into a newer live OS image once it's ready. They are still a work-in-progress and still have a few customizations that I should abstract for more general use, but it's FOSS in case anyone has merge requests, issues, suggestions, etc.

My desktop text editor has an autosave feature, but it only works after you've manually saved the file. All I wanted is something like the notes app on my phone, where I can jot down random thoughts without worrying about naming a new file. So here's the script behind my text editor shortcut, which creates a new text file in ~/.drafts, names it with the current date, adds a suffix if the file already exists, and finally opens the editor:

#!/bin/bash

name=/home/defacto/.drafts/"`date +"%Y%m%d"`"_text
if [[ -e "$name" || -L "$name" ]] ; then
    i=1
    while [[ -e "$name"_$i || -L "$name"_$i ]] ; do
        let i++
    done
    name="$name"_$i
fi
touch -- "$name"
pluma "$name" #replace pluma with your editor of choice

I have started my daily drawing journey which i still am bad at it. To create a new .kra files files every day I use this

#/usr/bin/bash

days=$(</var/home/monika/scripts/days)
echo "$days"

file_name=/var/home/monika/Pictures/Art/day$days.kra

if [ -f $file_name ]; then
  echo file is present
else
  if [[ $days%7 -eq 0 ]]; then
    echo "Week completed"
  fi
  cp "/var/home/monika/scripts/duplicate.kra" $file_name
  flatpak run org.kde.krita $file_name
  echo $(($days + 1)) >/var/home/monika/scripts/days
fi

I've stolen a bunch of Git aliases from somewhere (I don't remember where), here are the ones I ended up using the most:

g=git
ga='git add'
gau='git add --update'
gcfu='git commit --fixup'
gc='git commit --verbose'
'gc!'='git commit --verbose --amend'
gcmsg='git commit --message'
gca='git com
gd='git diff'
gf='git fetch'
gl='git pull'
gst='git status'
gstall='git stash --all'
gstaa='git stash apply'
gp='git push'
'gpf!'='git push --force-with-lease'
grb='git rebase'
grba='git rebase --abort'
grbc='git rebase --continue'

I also often use

ls='eza'
md='mkdir -p'
mcd() { mkdir -p "$1" && cd "$1" }

And finally some Nix things:

b='nix build'
bf='nix build -f'
bb=nix build -f .'
s='nix shell'
sf='nix shell -f'
snp='nix shell np#'
d='nix develop'
df='nix develop -f'

git() {
  if [ "$1" = clone ]; then
    shift
    set -- clone --recursive "$@"
  fi
  command git "$@"
}

I have a few:

loginserver

• 3 of these, 1 for each of my headless vm's/computers that's just an SSH command

dcompose(d/pull) - docker compose (down/pull)

3 scripts that are just docker compose up/down/pull, as scripts (remind me in 6 hours and I will post the scripts) so that it will CD to my compose folder, execute the command (with option for naming specific containers or blank for all) and then CD back to the directory I started in.

Technically not an alias, because I just use nushell's history + autocompletion everytime I use it, but one could alias it. I think I might even write a custom command for it, with path argument, some day. Anyway, here it goes:

rsync -aPh -e "ssh -p 2222" test@172.16.0.86:/storage/emulated/0/PicturesArchive/ ~/PicturesArchive/

I run an ssh daemon on my phone, and use this snippet to back up my photos.

well i have a script. ive named it "shazam". it either creates or attachs to a tmux session named after the base name of the dir (first arg or current working directory). i also have "fzf-shazam" as the same suggests itll open a fzf finder to choose a dir to "shazam"

Currently using this to resize screenshots in a Word doc

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

^+1:: { Send "{RButton}z{Tab 3}4{Enter}" }

I don't have anything too fancy. I use [theFuck(https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck) to handle typos, and I have some variables set to common directories that I use.

For me it's pretty basic. It's mostly aliases for nix related commands, like rebuild-switch, updating, garbage collecting, because those nix commands are pretty lenghty, especially with having to point to your flake and everything. I'm thinking of maybe adding an alias for cyanrip (cli cd ripper), because i recently ripped my entire cd collection, but going forward if i buy another cd every now and then, i'll probably end up forgetting about which flags i used.

#Create predefined session with multiple tabs/panes (rss, bluetooth, docker...)

#Comfort
ls = "ls --color=auto"

#Quick weather check
weatherH='curl -s "wttr.in/HomeCity?2QF"' 

#Download Youtube playlist videos in separate directory indexed by video order in playlist -> lectures, etc
ytPlaylist='yt-dlp -o "%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s"'

#Download whole album  -> podcasts primarily 
ytAlbum='yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 --split-chapters --embed-thumbnail -o "chapter:%(section_title)s.%(ext)s"'

# download video -> extract audio -> show notification
ytm()
{
	tsp yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 --no-playlist -P "~/Music/downloaded" $1 \

}

# Provide list of optional packages which can be manually selected
pacmanOpts()
{

for o in `expac -S '%o\n' $1`
do
  read -p "Install ${o}? " r
  [[ ${r,,} =~ ^y(|e|es)$ ]] && os+=( $o )
done

sudo pacman -S $1 ${os[@]}
}

# fkill - kill process
fkill() {
  pid=$(ps -ef | sed 1d | fzf -m --ansi --color fg:-1,bg:-1,hl:46,fg+:40,bg+:233,hl+:46 --color prompt:166,border:46 --height 40%  --border=sharp --prompt="➤  " --pointer="➤ " --marker="➤ " | awk '{print $2}')

  if [ "x$pid" != "x" ]
  then
    kill -${1:-9} $pid
  fi
}

Because using docker can sometimes cause ownership issues if not properly configured in your docker-compose.yml, I just added an alias to ~/.zshrc to rectify that.

-edit- Only run this script in your user owned directories, e.g. anything from ~/ (or /home/<your_username>) you might otherwise cause ownership issues for your system.

## Set ownership of files/folders recursively to current user
alias iownyou="sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP"

Ooooh tmpv is a smart name for your little tool. I may steal it lol

I replaced rm with trash-put, just in case I realize I need some files that I removed down the line.

alias rm='trash-put'

Official author don't recommend it due to different semantics. But honestly for my own personal use case its fine for me.

Also I like to alias xclip:

alias clippy='xclip -selection clipboard'

# cat things.txt | clippy

# grep search the current directory
function lg() {
  ls -alt | grep $1
}

Similar to yours OP I copy many URLs and then run my script that takes the number of URLs I copied eg 5,and downloads them with yt-dlp and GNU parallel to ~/Videos

I use CopyQ to hold the clipboard history.

ganis :

git add -A && sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure -j$(nproc)

Everyone who uses nixos probably has a similar alias set x)
