Ask HN: Share a shell script you like

Hi, I'd like to ask what are the shell scripts you enjoy using or find useful?

It might be something you incorporated to your terminal-based workflow. Or maybe some specific scripts that you often reuse. Or you have used it once, but it might be useful to other people. Or maybe you just have a script that is fun to use? Please share

My (not anymore) hidden intention is to gather your recommendations to build an open-source shell script registry https://spellbook.maczan.pl/ Source code is here for you if you want to self host or fork it https://github.com/jmaczan/spellbook

A script I sometimes use is a commands repeater https://registry.spellbook.maczan.pl/repeat-sh/spell.sh You can specify an interval and a flag to reset/keep the terminal's content after a script invocation

Thanks!
