-------
scripts
-------

This repository contains some useful scripts.


Installation
------------

You can just download one of the scripts or clone the repository to use them
like any other script.

Personally I like to pseudo-install them under my `/home` directory. For this
purpose I first have to extend my `$PATH` environment variable with the
location for personal scripts which is standardized by the cross desktop group
(XDG). For this purpose I add this to my `~/.bashrc` file:

	PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH

Then I clone this repository:

	cd ~/.local/bin
	git clone https://cgit.xengineering.eu/scripts

And finally I link the scripts I need on this machine via symbolic links:

	ln -s ./scripts/url.sh url

The result is that I can call e.g. the `url.sh` script from any location just
by typing `url`. I can also add machine-specific script in the `~/.local/bin`
folder or rename the `url.sh` script via a different name in the symlink.
