Bash-Snippets
A collection of small bash scripts for heavy terminal users with no dependencies
All of these scripts have been heavily tested on macOS and Linux
Most of these scripts have been tested on Windows 10 and the official developer bash instance. Does not work with Cygwin or Mysys2.
Looking for maintainers: I have been and probably will forever be too busy to maintain this properly on my own. I am looking for a few others to help out, if you want to be a maintainer either email me or raise an issue. I will probably only accept maintainers who have made a few contributions (no matter how small) and seem to understand the vision of this project.
Tools
The fastest way to find {command options|code pieces} you need
Supports multiple languages and many bash commands
A tool that facilitates backing up github repositories to bitbucket
If you have ever felt the fear of the github unicorn this could be your savior
Furthermore you can backup the repositories of any github user to your bitbucket.
Backup all github repositories of the designated user at once with the -a option. Or run it with no flags and backup individual repositories.
A wrapper for openssl that allows for quickly encrypting and decrypting files
crypt -e [original file] [encrypted file] # encrypts files
crypt -d [encrypted file] [output file] # decrypts files
Encryption Details
- Uses AES 256 level encryption
- Key is salted before creation
- Password is never in plain text, and OpenSSL generates key based on password
- Encrypted data is encoded in Base64, so it can be used as plain text in an email. (Not usually necessary if attached as a file)
Tested With .pdf, .txt, .docx, .doc, .png, .jpeg
CAUTION Make sure to use different filenames, otherwise your file will be overwritten!
Converts Cryptocurrency based on realtime exchange rates of the top 10 cryptos

Converts currency based on realtime exchange rates
If you want to bypass to guided input you can pass in 3 arguments and it will run from there
ex.currency [baseCurrency] [exchangeToCurrency] [amountBeingExchanged]
so a valid use case would be currency USD EUR 12.35

A lightning fast meme generator.
Quick search that grabs relevant information about a movie

Gets the link that is being masked by a url shortner
Check which ciphers are enabled / disabled for a given https site.
Sometimes ciphers are deemed vulnerable, so when you are changing configuration, this can be used to confirm that the cipher truly is disabled.
Some browsers (For example old versions of IE) don’t support some of the newer ciphers, which would be a good example of when a SysAdmin would need a list of currently supported ciphers so that changes can be made.
Provides information about a certain stock symbol
Recommendation engine that provides three similar items like the supplied item
Also can provide information on a given item
Valid items are: shows, books, music, artists, movies, authors, games

export TASTE_API_KEY="yourAPIKeyGoesHere" >> ~/.bash_profile

Quickly transfer files from the command line.

With no arguments it will grab the weather for your location as determined by your ip
With arguments you can pass in a city or country and get the weather in that area
Also can show the current moon phase
Provides a way to watch youtube videos from the terminal.
