Bash Scripts

This is a collection of Bash scripts that I use on Linux. Hosted on GitHub, see the repository here .

• For configuration information and a list of required dependencies, be sure to check the README files associated with each script.
• Scripts executed from the command line do not have an extension. Scripts executed by hotkeys and graphical applications have a .sh extension.
• Most scripts rely on functions defined in my .bash_functions file, especially for error handling and debugging. I have tried to include the required functions in each script, and information about any optional functions in the script’s README.
