• nala

    A TUI replacement apt that uses mirrors and parallel downloads to be a lot better

    Automagically replace all calls to apt with nala

    # Inside ~/.bashrc (or .zshrc)
    apt() {
      command nala "$@"
    }
    sudo() {
      if ["$1" = "apt" ]; then
          shift
          command sudo nala "$@"
      else
          command sudo "$@"
      fi
    }
    
  • zsh

    The replacement for the bash shell.

    After installing, first create the file ~/.zshenv to set zsh to store its configs in the .config folder

    echo "ZDOTDIR=$HOME/.config/zsh" > ~/.zshenv
    

    Then set zsh as the default shell:

    chsh -s $(which zsh)
    

    Hopefully at some point I’ll be smart enough to create a github repo and backup the configs I am making…

  • tar

    Example usage:

    tar cvfz archive.tar.gz folder/
