davorpa/shell-utils

This is a collection of useful shell scripts that automate common tasks on your computer. The main idea is simple: instead of doing repetitive work manually, you download a script, review it to make sure it's safe, and then let it run automatically to handle the job for you. The repository contains a handful of practical utilities written in shell scripting languages like Bash and Perl. For example, one script displays all 256 colors available in your terminal, which is handy if you're designing terminal-based tools and need to see what colors you can work with. Another script automates the process of installing or updating Zoom on your machine, it handles downloading the right version, registering certificates, and installing everything without you having to do it manually or through a GUI. The author emphasizes a security-first approach: when you download a script, you're encouraged to read through the code yourself before running it. Only after you've reviewed it and confirmed it does what you expect should you make it executable and run it. This is good practice with any code from the internet, and the README makes this clear upfront. This would be useful for people who spend a lot of time in the terminal, developers, system administrators, or anyone who automates their workflow. If you find yourself doing the same setup steps over and over, or if you want quick access to a tool like a color reference without leaving the command line, these kinds of utilities save time and reduce human error. The project is small and focused, with just a few scripts available, but it's a practical starting point for anyone looking for straightforward terminal automation tools.
