Common Scripts

This repository contains common scripts for various tasks.

Setup

To use these scripts, you can either:

1. Add this directory to your PATH by adding the following line to your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc):

   export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/common-scripts"

   Replace /path/to/common-scripts with the actual path to this directory.

2. Symlink individual scripts to ~/.local/bin for easy access:

   mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
   ln -s /path/to/common-scripts/take-screenshot.sh ~/.local/bin/

   Then, add ~/.local/bin to your PATH if not already:

   export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
