hacker-scripts

hacker-scripts is a collection of various scripts written in Python that make daily computer tasks easier. It is a great tool if you are a lazy computer user (like me) and want things done just with a single command from your command line. This software currently mostly contains scripts that work on Windows OS.

Installation

Simply download the hacker-scripts package and run the add_to_path.py script. This will add the hacker-scripts folder to the environment variable PATH. After this you should be able to run any of the hs- prefixed hacker-scripts from the PowerShell just by typing their name.

After adding the directory to PATH the next thing you have to do is to configure hacker-scripts. This also is an easy process, to configure hacker-scripts run the hs-config command and a new config.ini file will be created in the hacker-scripts directory. Once this is done you can proceed with the configuration. The configuration also is a straight forward process, the help docs are all available in the docs folder, you can refer to those for help.

Usage

Using these scripts is pretty much straight forward. After you've done the installation process you can run any hacker-scripts command via the command line (preferrable Windows PowerShell). Use hs-help to view a list of commands and use the following syntax to get a detailed help description of a command: <command name> -dh example: hs-music -dh To simply view the syntax of a command use the following syntax: <command name> -h

Contributing

All contributions are welcomed. You can fork the repo add your own scripts (written in Python3) or bug fixes and make a pull request.
