Now that I've switch to chezmoi to manage my files, I will archive this repository. See my dotfiles for my current repo. Although at the time of writing not everything is there yet since I still need to remove some of the personal data. -- 2020-06-23

Architecture

./alias is meant as a file in ~/.alias ./functions is meant as a file in ~/.functions

Both should be sourced in .zshrc (or the equivalent for other shells) as such :

source ~/.alias
source ~/.functions

In addition, ./bin in this repository is meant as the folder ~/.bin, and should be added to the path with PATH=$PATH:~/.bin in ~/.profile.

Contents

Aliases

• SSH
• DETACH
• LaTex
• General
• kill alarm (using shalarm, https://github.com/jahendrie/shalarm, can be handy if started with computer)

Functions

• kil - kill a process by name (twice pkill because programs like Discord behave weirdly)
• detach - detach a process from the shell (disown) and remove the text output
• gitUser - set the right user for your git repo authomatically (needs to be adapted to the right person)
• ex - extract, from the Manjaro bash_profile
• show your personal functions and stuff

Bin

• cleanup - update, remove some stuff, show latest errors - should not be used without understanding
• gitUser - the backend behind gitUser from functions
• light - lightens the load on your computer if you're on battery budget
• heavy - allows to restart stuff that has been shut down by light -- doesn't take the stuff from light, needs to be adjusted manually.
