I created a pacman wrapper script to automate updating my system (Arch BTW), logging what was updated in a sorted directory based on the current week range, as well as the update progress. My Arch system broke after an update, so this will help me narrow down what packages could have broken it if it does break again.
I also have a script to automatically build android APKs from source, sign it with my own key, and copy it to a Syncthing directory. Most useful when creating my own apps.
One last notable one: I created a script to download a file to a hard drive and store it in a directory based on the domain of the URL. I plan to add a recursive mode next so I can download multiple files at once.
I created some aliases and function to simplify certain commands, such as
v
fornvim
,lsal
forls -al
, andcn
forclear && neofetch
.Overall, I'm happy with what I have created. I doubt I'm the first to make some of these scripts, and I'm sure they're not the best, but they work for my use case.
