Does anybody else have a library of saved commands/scripts? What’s in it? How do you organize it? Is there anything you’d want to share that other people might find helpful?

I do. I keep it in VS Code and store complicated (for me) stuff that I can’t remember or worry I might not.

  1. Playlist download with yt-dlp with all my best settings, adding playlist index as track number.

  2. Ffmpeg metadata cleaner for music. Searching title for a bunch of specific strings to remove, setting the band, album, etc. and saving these in a new folder.

  3. Desktop file contents for when I need to create one for an appimage

  4. The script I used to bind audio output switching to a hotkey

  5. How to use ADB for when android blocks sideloading the normal way and I inevitably forget what Android Debug Bridge is or how to use it.

Linux Mint btw. Also yes, I am a noob.

    Heres my ~/.bin directory:

    https://github.com/promitheas17j/dotfiles/tree/main/dot_bin

    Hopefully thats what youre asking for.

    My favourite ones are:

    • bspwm-minimise.sh and bspwm-restore.sh which allow me to have window minimisation functionality in bspwm, which to my knowledge doesn’t exist natively
    • check_last_update.sh which I have in my .zshrc and gives me a count of packages available to update with some basic colouring, as well as if I have a kernel mismatch and need to restart

    One that Im still working on but will for sure be my favourite once its done is parse_keybinds.sh and keybind_cheatsheet.sh, which go through some of the software I have and parse their config files to extract all the keybinds into a file with a specific format. The latter script then launches a rofi menu where I can fuzzy search keybinds based on software name and what I want to do but cant remember the binding for. So far Ive got sxhkd and lf, but I consider it a work in progress because I want to also parse neovim bindings, but sxhkd and lf are single file configs while neovim has bindings in multiple files spread across multiple subdirectories in its config directory.
