✨ EVOLVING ECOSYSTEM ✨

Our scripts are growing into a distributed garden:

🌟 Premium Collection: https://github.com/shibuido

The shibuido organization hosts our most refined tools:

• Individual repositories for each KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) script
• Git superrepos containing submodules for easy git pull and PATH management
• Symbolic linking into submodules for convenient access
• Independent repos for clean, focused development

🔧 This Repository's Role:

handy_scripts_misc and handy_scripts_CLIAI remain the experimental workshop where:

• New ideas are prototyped and tested
• Complex tools that benefit from bundling live together
• WIP scripts evolve until they're ready for their own home
• Specialized utilities that don't fit the minimalist shibuido philosophy stay accessible

Think of it as: shibuido for the polished gems 💎, here for the creative chaos 🎨

🔗 Working with Submodules

Many tools have graduated to their own repositories under shibuido and are included here as git submodules with symbolic links for easy access.

First-time Setup:

git clone --depth=1 --recurse-submodules https://github.com/gwpl/handy_scripts_misc.git

Updating Everything:

git pull --recurse-submodules
git submodule update --remote

Adding to PATH:

# Add to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
export PATH="$HOME/path/to/handy_scripts_misc:$PATH"

The symbolic links ensure that scripts work exactly as before, while the submodules keep each tool's development independent and focused.

Handy scripts for daily workflows.

(We may add more links here as more tools get their own READMEs.)

In directory sourceable 📂, one can source scripts or directories individually, or use source path.../all.sh (in your current shell or .profile/.bashrc) at any level to recursively source all scripts from that directory and its subdirectories.

If you really like script in root directory, you can even point your PATH in .bashrc to this directory ;).

Please check each script to know what is it about. Maybe in future I will automate keeping readme updated about them.

Tool-specific READMEs

Some tools/scripts have their own detailed README files in this directory. For example:

• bookmarks_chromium.README.md — Documentation for bookmarks_chromium.py, a command-line and library utility for managing Chromium/Chrome/Brave bookmarks.
• collect_urls_from_all_tabs.README.md — Documentation for collect_urls_from_all_tabs.py, a helper that collects URLs from all open browser tabs and copies them to clipboard.
• git-branches-graph.README.md — Documentation for git-branches-graph, a tool that visualizes Git branch relationships as directed graphs in Mermaid, Graphviz, CSV, or PNG formats.
• paste_lines_to_window.README.md — Documentation for paste_lines_to_window.py, a script that pastes lines into any focused window using xclip and xdotool.
