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.

Tools

Cheat

The fastest way to find {command options|code pieces} you need

Supports multiple languages and many bash commands

Cloudup

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.

Crypt

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!

Cryptocurrency

Converts Cryptocurrency based on realtime exchange rates of the top 10 cryptos

A valid use case would be:

cryptocurrency -f eur

Currency

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

Siteciphers

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.
