Script to get Top languages used on GitHub

I’m having trouble getting Top 3 languages used on my GitHub. Has anyone done something like this or willing to share resources I have the api working and retrieving my repos. Just need help on how to calculate the top 3 languages with their corresponding percentage.

Question about bash

Hi, I would like to know if this template I just made myself is a good base to start a noscript, the truth is that it is the first time I am going to use getopt to parse arguments instead of getopts and I don't know if I am handling all exceptions correctly, and if the functionality there is implemented is useful or overkill

If you find any bug or improvement that you think of or that you yourself usually implement in your noscripts, could you tell me? I just want to improve and learn as much as I can to be the best I can be.

Any syntactic error or mistake that you see that could be improved or utility that could be used instead of any of the implemented ones such as using (( )) instead of \[\[ \]\] let me know.

Thanks in advance 😊

Performance repport generator noscript in bash

I'd like to know if someone can help me writing a noscript that collect data (memory, cpu, network) then put them in table which will contain the data chosen by the user, and an ascii graph related to the data chosen by the user.
I'm a student and I'm facing a lot of difficulties, I'd like it if someone could help me write this noscript.
(I have the document where everything is written but it's in french in someone may need it)

Many thanks

Chaining multiple grep commands to take in same input

How to chain two grep commands so that if the first grep fails, second grep attempts to find a match. To illustrate my problem, consider the following:

echo "360" | { grep 360 || echo "not found"; } Prints out the expected result "360"

echo "360" | { grep 240 || echo "not found"; } Prints out the expected result "not found"

echo "360" | { grep 360 || grep 240; } Prints out the expected result "360"

echo "360" | { grep 240 || grep 360; } Prints an empty line instead of doing another grep and printing out "360"

Ultimately I want to do a double grep on a piped stdin like so
echo "hurrdurr" | { grep 360 || grep 240 || echo "not found"; } But the two grep commands not ORing correctly is messing my command

I used echo just as an example. What I'm actually piping around is a multi-line output.
mycommand | { grep needle1 || grep needle2 || grep needle3 || echo "not found"; }

Could someone explain the logic behind a find command which renames files for me?

I have the following command which I use from time to time (via Google):

find /the/path -depth -name "*.abc" -exec sh -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.abc}.edefg"' _ {} \;

I know that it works, and I know that I need the underscore and the curly brackets at the end before the escaped ;. Without them, the command ends up only giving the extension.

*Why* are the underscore and the curly brackets needed? What exactly do they do in this context? The `bash -c` command takes the `{}` as the argument to give you `$1`, but where does the underscore fit in?

If you have a link to where this is explained, it would be great.

Complete noob having issue with strange url in terminal

Hi my dudes,

I try to avoid the terminal as much as I can, but sometimes you're just forced to build or run some command line application. E.g., I would like to run the following command to convert an iso to chd:

#!/bin/bash

for file in *.iso; do chdman createcd -i "${file%.*}.iso" -o "${file%.*}.chd"; done

This does, in fact, work as intended. However, when I look at the terminal output, I notice the following:

#/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yb85/scantailor-advanced-osx/HEAD/install.sh)"

I honestly have no clue what this is supposed to signify. I suppose some odd custom ssl connection setting or something? Scantailor Advanced is a program I did install at some point, but how is it that anytime I use #!/bin/bash I am presented with this url of a program I am not even working with in that moment? It seems to me this is not how things should be setup. Thus, my question, how can I restore this for it to just work normally without this url being involved in anything?


Hope someone can advise on this, would be much appreciated!

Can anybody help me to write this bash noscript?

I have found this command to compress PDF files and it works. But it is too long for me to memorize it.

gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=compressed_PDF_file.pdf input_PDF_file.pdf

I want to make a bash noscript like this:

compress input.pdf output.pdf

So if it is a simple question, sorry. I've been using linux for about 5 months.

Code review request for a recent noscript I made to simplify the progress of setup a SSH SOCKS service

use variable in variable while looping

Hi,

In a larger noscript I need to loop through a list of predefined items. Underneath a simplified working part of the noscript:

#!/bin/bash
totalitems=4

# define integers
item[1]=40
item[2]=50
item[3]=45
item[4]=33

# start with first
counter=1

while [ "$counter" -le "$totalitems" ]
do
echo "${item$counter}"
let counter+=1
done

However I'm curious if the same is possible without using an array. Is it even possible to combine the variables 'item' and 'counter', e.g.:

#!/bin/bash
totalitems=4

# define integers
item1=40
item2=50
item3=45
item4=33

# start with first
counter=1

while [ "$counter" -le "$totalitems" ]
do
echo "$item$counter" <---
let counter+=1
done

TIL: Prompt in "read -p prompt" goes to stderr

It is documented in man bash:

>\-p prompt
>
>Display prompt on standard error, without a trailing newline, before attempting to read any input. The prompt is displayed only if input is coming from a terminal.

but not in help read:

>\-p prompt
>
>output the string PROMPT without a trailing newline before attempting to read

So, echo -n prompt; read is NOT equivalent to read -p prompt. The former should be preferred, because you're free to send the prompt to either stdout or stderr without side effects. Even though read -p prompt 2>&1 would send the prompt to stdout, error messages produced by read would go there as well.

Ffmpeg, ranger & concatenating

I've been using these noscripts with mpv for years which makes it simple to chop up, crop & encode video from from mpv. add in a file delete noscript and I can chop up, crop & encode video, and delete the original from mpv just using the keyboard, which is nice.

what they don't allow me to do is stitch video back together, like this.

I use ranger to launch mpv and would be nice if I can use that to concatenate.

I currently have this in my rc.conf:

map xc shell for f in %s ; do echo "file $f'" >> mylist.txt; done

map xj shell ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i mylist.txt -c copy complete.mp4

it kinda works a bit but feels janky, I need to delete files and rename stuff, and have no idea what I am doing when it comes to noscripting stuff.

ideally I would select %s files as I do with the space bar on ranger, be able to specify the output file name and not have to worry about duplicate mylist.txt files.

any ideas?

is this the right place for this kinda question? I'm new here

ifempty: data protection wrapper for mkfs.X tools

When you try to format some non-empty storage with mkfs.ext4, it asks for a confirmation:

> truncate -s 100m 1.img
> mkfs.ext4 1.img
mke2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
Discarding device blocks: done
Creating filesystem with 25600 4k blocks and 25600 inodes

Allocating group tables: done
Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (1024 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

> mkfs.ext4 1.img
mke2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
1.img contains a ext4 file system
created on Wed May 22 02:13:10 2024
Proceed anyway? (y,N) n

Not all mkfs tools act like that. For example, mkfs.fat (and aliases mkfs.msdos, mkfs.vfat), mkfs.exfat, mkfs.udf, mkfs.ntfs, mkfs.minix just format everything without any checks.

My noscript can be used to add the non-empty check to such "dumb" tools. There is a detailed README in the repo

Starship Prompt showing vertical line in the prompt graphic.

I recently started using Starship to configure my bash prompt. One thing I noticed are these vertical lines that appear when the shape of the prompt graphic changes. I have a slight orange line where it changes to a point and a slight blue line when it changes to a half circle. Is there a way to fix this?

is there a shortcut for jump to start of a command and other for jump to end of the same command?

Hi!. sometimes I wrote long command for 4 lines and repeat the command and I' d like to know if there is a shorcut for move the prompt to start of the command.

for example:
