ArchInstallScriptExample
Example script to automate installing personal packages and configuring them
Cheat.sh / cheat - I use this one all the time. With cheat.sh you can get quick examples on how a command is often/can be used in reality. You can use curl to request it (curl cheat.sh/ls) or you can install the program for soms additional features. Links: Cheat webversion. GitHub page.
Just play with it at home - install pihole to block Ads for example.
Cproton, which is a script that downloads the latest version of a fork of Proton from github, extracts it into the right directory and restarts Steam if the user wishes so. FYI: Proton is (a package of) software by Valve that's build into Steam that enables you to run most Windows games on Linux. It combines Wine, DXVK and some other technologies. This fork is a popular enhanced version by a Redhat employee that's more up-to-date and has some extra fixes. Normally you'd have to go to Github, download the latest version from the page and manually extract it into the right folder.
I'm writing a script right now that allows me to download all of my favorite/needed packages in one go. It's also going to tweak some settings. I'm combining this script with my dotfiles (configs) that are on Github in a private repository. By combining those dotfiles on Github with GNU Stow, I can sync all of my settings of any of my programs on all my systems. And when I need to reinstall for whatever reason, I can install and configure everything I need by running one script (and maybe a few commands). Here is an example of my Installscript (for Arch). It's not the way I want it to be at this point, but this repo serves as an example. One of many tutorials to using Git+GNU Stow for managing/syncing your dotfiles can be found here.
I like to tinker with my system, be that for improving experience/workflow or jsut for the visuals. I use a package called pywal to help me with the visuals. It generates colorcodes based on an image you feed it. The community has already written many scripts that use pywal to automatically change colors of a program so it algoes well together. I srote a simple script that combines some of those scripts, gives me the ability to quickly change wallpaper/theme and added some other functionality. One program that I use that didn't have such script (but can be fed colorcodes) is Pomotroid, which is a Pomodoro timer. So I also wrote a simple script to do that.
