# Creates a feature branch with date-indexed naming based on $USER.
# Add this function to your .bashrc or .zshrc file for easy access in every terminal session.
#
# Example:
# If $USER is "ckrauter" and today is 2024-11-08:
# Running `fb` creates a branch like `feature/ckrauter/2024-11-08/1`.
# Running `fb utils package` creates `feature/ckrauter/utils-package/2024-11-08/1`.

Real-Time Brightness Adjustment When Charging (macOS)

This solution automatically sets your macOS display brightness to 100% when the power adapter is connected. It leverages a LaunchDaemon that runs a persistent script listening for power state changes via pmset. This event-driven approach ensures immediate response without unnecessary polling.

Requirements

• macOS (tested on recent versions)
• brightness CLI (install directly from GitHub, see below)
• Administrative privileges

coltenkrauter

#!/bin/zsh
# delete-cognito-users.sh
# deletes all cognito users with emails starting with 'coltenkrauter'
# assumes a single user pool exists

logInfo() {
	echo "[INFO] $1"
}

logError() {

coltenkrauter

#!/usr/bin/env bash

deps=$(npx --yes depcheck --json | jq -r '.dependencies[], .devDependencies[]')

if [ -z "$deps" ]; then
	echo '✅ No unused dependencies found'
else
	echo '🧹 Unused dependencies:'
	echo "$deps"
