A collection of useful Bash scripts to assist with terminal workflow.
Potentially destructive scripts (can delete files interactively):
extract - Extracts every archive in the current directory and
subdirectories.
Scripts that can create files, but won't delete any:
new-md5 - Recursively creates MD5 files and checks for missing entries in
existing MD5 files.
dir2cbz - Converts given directories to comic book archives.
Scripts that won't create or delete files, eg. info aggregators:
files - Lists all filetypes in the current directory. Useful when
searching for unnecessary files. Example output:
$ files /dir/to/documents
3 jpg
7 txt
31 md
41 total
chars - Prints contents of stdin in a single list, containing each
occuring character once. Useful for finding invalid filename characters when
moving between filesystems or looking for specific characters in a file.
$ find . -type f | sed 's,^.*/,,g' | chars
-._~0123456789aAbcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjklmMnoOprRsStTuvwxyz
$ find . -type f | sed 's,^.*/,,g' | chars A-Za-z0-9
-._~
file-depths - Calculates file counts for each directory depth and groups
them together. Useful when organizing a directory. Example output:
$ file-depths /dir/to/documents
3
91 /
102 //
39 ///
