bash-tools

A list of small bash functions for daily use.

crypto-info.sh

It fetch current value of crypto currency from coinmarketcap.com and store the value in hidden file at home folder.

crypto_exchange_rate bitcoin

Result will be available in file ~/.bitcoin_value.

print-and-run.sh

This prints a command and run it. par ls -la will results in green text with whole command, followed by output from command itself.

Useful for aliases, where you want to know what it actually did.

alias gg='par git status'

run-in-the-background.sh

A function which runs graphical application from command line without blocking terminal. It runs a command in background and redirect error output to /dev/null.

I mostly use it in aliases.

alias gimp='rib /usr/bin/gimp'
