Utils

Utils is a collection of config files and scripts that I've written and collected over the years.

Warning

Some of these files were NOT tested enough to my standards. I've noted the files you should be careful with in the files list below.

Included files

Config files

1. .vimrc: I did not write this. I downloaded this years ago, and unfortunately, I've lost the name of the original author.
2. .zshrc: Customises the ZSH environment (prompt design, extensions, &c.) to my liking.
3. Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1: [NOTE: gcm (git commit -m) requires Remove-Alias introduced in PowerShell 6.0+.] Customises PowerShell in my Windows systems.

Scripts

1. compi: Automatically compresses image into different levels. Featured in Automated Image Compression for Web Development with Python.
2. compv: Automatically compresses videos for low data transfers. See docs in file.
3. journey: Submodule to Journey, a BASH-enabled journal/diary system.
4. erase-all-forge-keybindings.sh†: Deletes all the keybinding for the Forge extension on GNOME. This one is niche, imo.
5. extractall†: Extract all compressed packages into their own directories. I've only used this for extracting arrays of IMG files (this is how a lot of retro software is packaged) on Linux.
6. git-myinit: Typical git init but it autoadds an ignore file.
7. git-rebaseall‡: Rebase multiple branches into the current branch.
8. git-update: Fetches and prints the status
9. json2csv: Automatically converts JSONs to CSVs, if compatible. Really unstable.
10. mkfile: touch with support for directories
11. ts2mp4: Converts all TSs in the current directory and converts them to MP4.

Notes:

† Are not tested well enough for my standards.

‡ Tested well enough but still may produce unexpected results due to the use of wildcards. (My regex skills suck).

Installation
