Productivity tools for Linux/Unix.
Files here are general-purpose Linux/Darwin productivity tools accumulated from
my time in the software vocation/avocation. They are released under the terms
of the BSD two-clause license (see LICENSE.txt).
fundam — Filters I use each and every day in my work as a software
developer. Many of them are intended to be used as editor filters, e.g. one
may left-align a paragraph of text columns by using !}left in vim.
Another primary use is for logsnarfing: who knows what will be in a
particular set of log file, but powerful things can be done with a set of
general-purpose text-manipulation tools (including grep/sed/etc.).
abbrevs — Essentially aliases, but available from contexts in which
aliases are not evaluable.
arith — Simple pipe-oriented tools for things like sums and GCDs.
one-offs — as the name implies
Python, Perl, Bash, Ruby, Go.
There are a few C items at https://github.com/johnkerl/ctools
Language choice is more a function of time than topic: I used C and Perl from
the early/mid-1990’s onward; many of the math/stats tools I wrote while in grad
school 2005-2010 are in Python; most of my scripting since then is Python, with
some Ruby.
