How to Use

Clone this repository to have it on your machine (in locale).

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/90zlaya/shell-scripts.git

Enter into cloned directory and mirror source folder.

# Enter into root directory
cd shell-scripts/

# Mirror src directory
cp -R src/ deploy/versions/[current-version]

It's recommended to keep name deploy for this copy as it was ignored by .gitignore.
This will allow you to git pull newest version of this repository without overwriting your updates to scripts.

Navigate to the mirrored folder and edit script to meet your requirements.

# Enter mirrored directory
cd deploy/versions/[current-version]

# List all shell scripts
ls -al *.sh

# Open script to have it updated
nano [script-name].sh

When you're done editing script, save it and you are able to run it.

# Run script
bash [script-name].sh

For more information on how to use specific script check list of available scripts.

Recommendations

You can create alias for certain script:

# Create alias
alias [alias-name]="[command]"

# Get help how to use script you aliased
[alias-name] -h

Replace [alias-name] with your alias and [command] with full path to your script (presumably [installation-path]/shell-scripts/deploy/versions/[current-version]/[script-name].sh).
