# A collection of Unix scripts to make your life easier



This repo will contain a few of the many scripts I use on my linux desktop,

most of them are meant to be run from keyboard shortcuts and sometimes rely

on dmenu (you can substiture it with bemenu if you're on wayland)



You can see this kind of like a dotfiles repo, except I won't share my entire

desktop configuration because I view this as too personal



It is recommanded that you read and understand the scripts before running them



## Explanation of each script



### zshrc_example



not a script but an example .zshrc that I consider sane defaults



zsh has the reputation to be very powerful but a pain to configure, with this you

can just use it as a drop in replacement for bash and it should work right and feel

right right away, main differences are like vi-like keybindings and autocompletion

is a bit different than bash (way better)



you may wanna customize the PS1 variable and add your own aliases



### addtorrent.sh



a command line script to add a torrent to a remote Transmission server over HTTP



usage `./addtorrent.sh url`, url can be a magnet link or the http link of a

.torrent file



you have to set host, username and password before using



~~stolen from~~ inspired by this https://gist.github.com/tree-s/1b2177bac1d8f2b70fac9e235a7f262c



### audiosink.sh



Select the default audio output on wireplumber, when you launch the script a dmenu

will appear with the list of every audio sink that wireplumber can see and you can

select one to make it default, very useful if you have multiple audio cards



### autorip.sh



rip an audio CD using cdparanoia and let you name the files and save them as .flac



save everything to ~/music, depends on cdparanoia, ffmpeg and id3v2



interactive script meant to be run inside a terminal, please read it carefully

before trying it out



### calc.sh



a dmenu calculator, very simple and effective, relies on the bc calculator



### conversion.sh



a dmenu program to convert some units, as of now it can convert km to miles and

vice versa and °C/°F, I'll add more when I feel like I need them, I'll probably

accept your pull request if you decide to add more units yourself



### emoji.sh



an emoji selector that I probably copied from Luke Smith or someone else idk, 

copies the selected emoji to the clipboard



you might need to adjust the path of the emoji list and use absolute path



replace xclip with wl-copy on wayland



### playmusic.sh



select a song or an album from your music library and play it with mpd, one of my

favourite scripts
