Shell Utilities

Collection of utility shell scripts to automate often-used command combinations.

Details

The basic Linux environment comes with a wide arsenal of utility applications and commands to use. They are usually made for a specific task with a lot of options. This makes them versatile, but sometimes uncomfortable to use repeatedly if you are looking for a simple interface.

This project expands on the built-in functionalities of these modern Linux (and mac) systems to provide a bit more complex functionalities in a simple format.

Considerations

• Independent: scripts must be compatible with modern Linux and Mac systems with the use of bash,
• Standalone: scripts can run without any others in this library,
• Autonomous: scripts must be non-interactable, meaning the only settings are passed with the use parameters and don't require any stdin,
• Concise: scripts must produce minimal output text, if the command is only successful or unsuccessful, it must be communicated with an error code,
• Focused: scripts must be focused on a single purpose instead of being highly customizable
