I write scripts to:
- combine a sequence of commands i could type manually, but am too lazy to (example:
proxy-chrome) - turn commands i need frequently but can't remember into ones i can (example:
ex,ssh-forward,ishostup,rmcaps) - do things recursively on a file tree (
rgit,mvnrc,chres) - perform transformation operations on many files that are too complicated for
find(svg2pdf,imgscale) - systematize workflows into a script (
mvn-release) - procrastinate (
gdwc)
The given examples are a subset of all the scripts I have in my doftiles that can be found in thrau/dotfiles.
