hacker-scripts

hacker-scripts is a collection of mini-scripts written in Python intended to make frequently used or random tasks such as playing music, launching programs you use frequently, opening the pages you browse daily etc just with a single command through your terminal.

These scripts can be re-configured anytime just by editing an easy to use .ini configuration file.

Installation

The setup.py script first creates a directory tree - hacker-scripts\bin in your root directory and then copies different scripts from src to their respective locations. After this hacker-scripts and hacker-scripts\bin are added to your PATH so that they can be accessed directly from the terminal with ease.

To install hacker-scripts run > python setup.py install

Note: After installation you will have to close the terminal and open a new one to use any of the commands. If you are not able to use the commands i.e you get a "command does not exist" kind of error then add C:\hacker-scripts and C:\hacker-scripts\bin (Windows) to PATH manually.

Configuration

Once you're done with the installation you will have to configure hacker-scripts. If the installation went well the process should be quite simple, all you have to do is run hs-config in a new terminal window and the script will create a config.ini file in C:\hacker-scripts.

After this the config.ini file will open (if it does not open automatically then navigate to your root directory >> hacker-scripts >> config.ini).

Here you can configure different scripts according to your needs. Below is an example configuration.

# You can add as many parameters as you want to CERTAIN sections but they must be in series
[hs-browse]
url1 = www.github.com
url2 = www.stackoverflow.com

[hs-music]
directory = C:\Users\Areeb\Desktop\Music

[hs-desktop]
files_directory = C:\Users\Areeb\Desktop\Files
images_directory = C:\Users\Areeb\Desktop\Media\Images
videos_directory = C:\Users\Areeb\Desktop\Media\Videos

[hs-start]
program1 = C:\Users\Areeb\Desktop\mIRC\mIRC.exe

[hs-wallpaper]
directory = C:\Users\Areeb\Desktop\Wallpapers

[hs-work]
project1 = C:\Users\Areeb\Desktop\Python\My Stuff\Under Development Projects\Python 3\RSS2IRC\rss2irc.py

Usage

As I mentioned before, you can use any of the scripts included in hacker-scripts from your terminal. To get a list of the scripts and their functions type hs-help in the terminal and hit enter.

Possible Snag(s)

Sometimes the setup may not be able to add the directories C:\hacker-scripts and C:\hacker-scripts\bin to the system PATH, in that case you will have to do this manually.

Here's a tutorial on adding directories to PATH (Windows)

Contributing

Feel free to fork the repository and include your own hacker-scripts or make any improvisations in the code. Once done you can make a pull request. Make sure to add the script description in the hs-help.py script and also a detailed description of your script or/and the improvisations you made in the script(s).

Cheers ☕
