### Utilities
|
||||
|
||||
// TODO
|
||||
|
||||
The dotfiles also contains several handy bash scripts to carry out useful tasks with slightly more ease.
|
||||
|
||||
Each of these scripts is standalone, without any dependencies, and can be executed directly to use.
|
||||
Alternatively, they can be sourced from within a .zshrc / .bashrc, for use anywhere via their alias.
|
||||
|
||||
For usage instructions about any of them, just append the `--help` flag.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Transfer]() - Quickly transfer files or folders to the internet
|
||||
- [Web Search]() - Open a specific search engine with a given query
|
||||
- [QR Code]() - Generates a QR code for a given string, to transfer data to mobile device
|
||||
- [Weather]() - Shows current and forecasted weather for your location
|
||||
- [Color Map]() - Just outputs your terminal emulators supported color pallete
|
||||
- [Welcome]() - Used for first login, prints personalised greeting, system info, and other handy info
|
||||
- [Online]() - Checks if you are connected to the internet
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Transfer
|
||||
|
||||
Quickly transfer a file, group of files or directory via the transfer.sh service.<br>
|
||||
To get started, run `transfer <file(s) / folder>`, for more info, run `transfer --help`
|
||||
|
||||
If multiple files are passed in, they will automatically be compressed into an archive.
|
||||
You can change the file transfer service, or use a self-hosted instance by setting the URL in `FILE_TRANSFER_SERVICE`
|
||||
The file can be either run directly, or sourced in your `.zshrc` and used via the `transfer` alias.
|
||||
|
||||
> For info, run `transfer --help`<br>

|
||||
|
||||
#### Web Search
|
||||
|
||||
Quickly open web search results for a given query using a selected search engine. To get started, run `web-search`, or `web-search --help` for more info.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
|
||||
All parameters are optional, to get started just run `web-search` or `web-search <search provider (optional)> <query (optional)>`, the `ws` alias can also be used. If a search engine isn't specified, you'll be prompted to select one from the list. Similarly, if a query hasn't been included you'll be asked for that too.
|
||||
|
||||
- `web-search` - Opens interactive menu, you'll be prompted to select a search engine from the list then enter your query
|
||||
- `web-search <search term>` - Specify a search term, and you'll be prompted to select the search engine
|
||||
- For example, `web-search Hello World!`
|
||||
- `web-search <search engine>` - Specify a search engine, and you'll be prompted for your search term
|
||||
- For example, `web-search duckduckgo`
|
||||
- `web-search <search engine> <search engine>` - Specify both a search engine and query, and results will open immediately
|
||||
- For example, `web-search wikipedia Matrix Defense`
|
||||
|
||||
<details>
|
||||
|
||||
<summary><b>Supported Search Providers</b></summary>
|
||||
|
||||
The following search engines are supported by default:
|
||||
- DuckDuckGo: `ws duckduckgo` (or `wsddg`)
|
||||
- Wikipedia: `ws wikipedia` or (`wswiki`)
|
||||
- GitHub: `ws github` (or `wsgh`)
|
||||
- StackOverflow: `ws stackoverflow` (or `wsso`)
|
||||
- Wolframalpha: `ws wolframalpha` (or `wswa`)
|
||||
- Reddit: `ws reddit` (or `wsrdt`)
|
||||
- Maps: `ws maps` (or `wsmap`)
|
||||
- Google: `ws google` (or `wsggl`)
|
||||
- Grep App: `ws grepapp` (or `wsgra`)
|
||||
|
||||
</details>
|
||||
|
||||
The alias `ws` will also resolve to `web-search`, if it's not already in use. You can either run the script directly, e.g.`~/.config/utils/web-search.sh` (don't forget to `chmod +x` the file first, to make it executable), or use the `web-search` / `ws` alias anywhere, once it has been source'd from your .zshrc.
