Useful Bash Scripts

A collection of handy Bash scripts for developers to simplify tasks and improve productivity. The goal is to provide a useful toolkit that saves time and makes development tasks more efficient.

List of Scripts

1. kill_on.sh: Terminates the process listening on a specified port (given as an argument).

Usage

1. Directly called: Navigate to the script directory and run with ./script_name.sh.

   Note: To use a script function, source the script (source kill_on.sh) in the current shell session.

2. Creating Aliases (for script functions): Create an alias in the shell configuration file.

   1. Clone the repository to a desired location.
   2. Open your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, or ~/.zshrc).
   3. For each script function, create an alias: alias function_name="source <path_to_cloned_repository>/script_name.sh; function_name"
      • Example: alias kill_on="source ~/code/useful-bash-scripts/kill_on.sh; kill_on"
   4. Save the file and restart your terminal or run source <your_shell_config_file>.

Now you can call the aliased script function directly in the terminal, regardless of your current directory (e.g., kill_on 3000).

Note: Ensure the script has executable permissions using chmod +x script_name.sh for both directly called scripts and script functions.
