🛠️ My Bash Toolkit

This repository contains a collection of scripts I built to make my daily workflow on Linux Mint Cinnamon (Ubuntu-based) a bit smoother. They might not change the world, but they certainly save me some keystrokes. Feel free to use them as-is or tweak them to fit your own needs.

Note: Since these were made for my personal setup, I haven't written exhaustive documentation—just a quick "how-to" for each tool.

🚀 1. Push

The "Lazy Git" Tool

I made this to simplify the process of publishing changes to a repository without typing the same three commands every time.

🛠️ How to use it:

• Copy the file into your repository and make it executable.
• Standard usage: Run the script, and it will execute git add . && git commit && git push automatically.
• Commit Messages:
  • It uses a default message (set to "Update" by default).
  • You can change the default by editing this line in the script: commit_msg="Update".
  • Or, provide a custom message on the fly: ./push "YourCommitMessageHere".

⚡ 2. Start

The Morning Ritual Automator

I have a specific routine when I open my laptop: mounting disks, applying keyboard layouts, and starting services like MySQL and Apache. Doing this manually every day was annoying, so I automated it.

🛠️ How to use it:

• Move the file to /usr/local/bin to use it as a standard command and make it executable.
• Configuration: You must edit the following variables inside the script to match your system:

Variable	Description
XMOD_FILE	Path to your custom .Xmodmap layout file
MOUNT_DEV	The device identifier (e.g., /dev/sda4)
MOUNT_POINT	Where you want the drive mounted (e.g., /media/mahdi/D-drive)
LOG_FILE	Where to save logs (default is ~/startup.log)
START_SERVICES_CMD	The command to start your services

• Logs: You can check your logs using nano ~/startup.log or your favorite GUI text editor.

🌐 3. Webuild

The Instant Scaffolder

I built this one day when I was bored and wanted a way to instantly generate essential website files so I wouldn't have to create them manually every time.

🛠️ How to use it:

• Move the file to /usr/local/bin and make it executable.
• You can run it in your current directory or provide a path (relative or absolute).
• The script will even create the directory for you if it doesn't exist.

Command	Files Created
webuild static	index.html, style.css, script.js
webuild dynamic	index.html, style.css, script.js, server.php
webuild platform	index.html, style.css, script.js, server.php, data.json

Example Usage:

• webuild static ./new-page
• webuild dynamic /var/www/html

🖱️ 4. Open In Browser

The Nemo Context Menu Mapper

I made this great Nemo action to instantly map my local development directories to their respective network URLs. It adds a handy right-click option in the Nemo file manager to open a local path directly in the browser with the correct IP and port routing.

🛠️ How to use it:

You can find the necessary files for this tool in the Open-In-Browser folder in this repository.

Installation:

1. The Script: Copy open-in-browser.sh to your local bin and make it executable: cp Open-In-Browser/open-in-browser.sh ~/.local/bin/ chmod +x ~/.local/bin/open-in-browser.sh
2. The Action: Copy the Nemo action file (e.g., open-in-browser.nemo_action) to your Nemo actions directory: cp Open-In-Browser/*.nemo_action ~/.local/share/nemo/actions/
3. Restart Nemo: Apply the changes by running nemo -q in your terminal.

Configuration: This action is hardcoded to specific network IPs and drive paths. You will need to edit both files to match your environment:

• open-in-browser.sh: Change the /media/mahdi/D-drive/ paths to your actual working directories. Update the IPs (192.168.1.32) and ports (6060, 6061, 60) to match your local server setups.
• .nemo_action file: Update the Exec= line to point to your correct home folder path. You should also update the Conditions=path: line to match the drive you want this right-click option to appear in.

🗂️ 5. GitMan

The Multi-Repo Manager

When you have a lot of repositories and switch between devices, it's easy to forget to pull before you push. GitMan solves that by giving you a clean interactive menu to manage all your repos at once from a single directory.

🛠️ How to use it:

You can find the script in the GitMan folder in this repository.

• Copy gitman.sh into the directory that contains your repos (not inside one of them) and make it executable: cp GitMan/gitman.sh ~/your-repos-dir/ chmod +x ~/your-repos-dir/gitman.sh
• Run it from that directory: ./gitman.sh

It will automatically detect every subdirectory with a .git folder and include it.

Menu Options:

Option	Description
1 Pull All	Pull every detected repo at once
2 Push All	Push every detected repo at once
3 Check Pull	See which repos are behind the remote
4 Check Push	See which repos are ahead of the remote
5 Pull Specific	Pick one or more repos to pull
6 Push Specific	Pick one or more repos to push
7 Help	Show usage info inside the script

• Multi-select: When picking specific repos, type the numbers separated by _ — for example 1_3_5. Type all to select everything in the list.
• Logs: Every action is logged to git.log in the same directory, with a timestamp and per-repo result for each run.

🌍 6. Server With Apache

The Instant Dev Server

A Nemo right-click action that sets any directory (or file) as an Apache DocumentRoot on the fly and opens it in the browser — full Apache, full .htaccess, full PHP. No spinning up vhosts manually, no typing paths, just right-click and go.

📦 Requirements

You need these installed before running the setup:

Dependency	Install command
apache2	sudo apt install apache2
libapache2-mod-php	sudo apt install libapache2-mod-php
python3	Pre-installed on Linux Mint
notify-send	Pre-installed on Linux Mint (via libnotify-bin)

🛠️ How to use it:

You can find all three necessary files in the Server-With-Apache folder in this repository.

Installation (one-time):

1. cd into the Server-With-Apache folder.
2. Make the setup script executable and run it:

   chmod +x setup.sh
   ./setup.sh
   

3. Done. The setup script handles everything automatically — no further steps needed.

What the setup script does:

• Copies nemo-serve.py to /usr/local/bin/ (the main engine)
• Installs serve_here.nemo_action into ~/.local/share/nemo/actions/
• Adds a scoped sudoers rule to /etc/sudoers.d/nemo-serve so Apache can be reloaded without a password prompt
• Enables Apache modules: mod_rewrite, mod_headers, and your PHP module
• Adds Listen 6161 to /etc/apache2/ports.conf
• Restarts Nemo to pick up the new action

Usage:

• Right-click any folder → "Serve with Apache (port 6161)" → opens http://localhost:6161
• Right-click any file → serves its parent folder as root, opens http://localhost:6161/yourfile.ext

What you get:

• Real Apache — .htaccess works, mod_rewrite works, PHP works
• AllowOverride All baked in so nothing is blocked
• Desktop notification with the URL when the server is ready
• Error and access logs at /tmp/nemo-apache-error.log and /tmp/nemo-apache-access.log
• One persistent vhost on port 6161 — switching directories just swaps the DocumentRoot, no vhost accumulation

Note: Only one directory can be served at a time. Right-clicking a new folder replaces the previous one.

That's it for now
