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.
