About

Sometimes, we need something to do the heavy lifting for us. This is a catalog of useful BASH scripts for Linux.

Feel free to add your own scripts here. To add your file, simply drag-and-drop onto the wiki editing screen. The file will be uploaded, and the link automatically created. Otherwise, you can create a Paste and embed it by its code below (in curly braces):

Bash Scripts

System Update

$ sudo bash sys_update.sh > ~/logs/update.sh

Drop the sudo if this is going in a startup script.

Wacom Touch On/Off

$ bash wacom.sh off
$ bash wacom.sh on

Add Working Git Branch to Terminal Prompt

Modify your $PS1 variable. Alternatively, you can use an external tool such as starship to manage this for you. To modify it manually, add a line like this to your ~/.bashrc file:

PS1 += "`__git_ps1`"

You can add colors to this or any other part of your terminal line:

PS1 += "$ICyan`__git_ps1`$Color_Off"
