Scripts

A collection of scripts to automate the boring stuff and bring fun tools to your workstation.

Getting Started

Easy install:

mkdir -p ~/Scripts && cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Caleb-Shepard/Scripts

if Scripts is a directory, you may need to specify a valid destination for your clone, and move the scripts into your ~/Scripts directory

Prerequisites

You should have Python2.7, sh, and a C compiler on your system; xmodmap is needed for ctrl_alt_esc_swap.xmod

sudo apt-get install xmodmap

Installing

cd ~/Scripts
cc -o sPoNgEbOb.c sponge
# use the following lines if you like to clean up
rm sPoNgEbOb.c
rm img/ubuntu_beautified.png
rmdir img

Usage

Read the scripts that you plan to run before you run them, as a safe practice.

sponge

% ./sponge "This is a sassy string"
tHiS iS a SaSsY sTrInG

awful

% ./awful "String"
# paste contents
# ｓＴｒＩｎＧ

ubuntu_natural_scrolling_17_04.sh

# This should be run with root privileges
chmod +x ~/Scripts/ubuntu_natural_scrolling_17_04.sh
sudo ~/Scripts/ubuntu_natural_scrolling_17_04.sh

ubuntu_easy_beautification.sh

# Installs custom shell themes and some desktop applications
# This should be run with root privileges
# modify as you wish before running
chmod +x ~/Scripts/ubuntu_easy_beautification.sh
sudo ~/Scripts/ubuntu_easy_beautification.sh

After running the script successfully, log into a Gnome3 session and open

# this is the command to open gnome-tweak
gnome-tweak-tool

enable user shell themes, then restart gnome-tweak (you may use the command again)

gnome-tweak-tool

Your settings should look like this when you are done
