eggbean / add_vim_to_path.ps1

Last active September 17, 2024 21:19

PowerShell script to make a persistent symlink to Vim for Windows and add it to %PATH%.

	# Jason Gomez - June 2024
	# Problem 1: When installing Vim for Windows using winget it's not added
	# to %PATH% so it cannot easily be used from the command line.
	# Problem 2: The path to the Vim executables keeps changing as the
	# version number is part of the path.
	# Solution: This script makes a persistent symlink to the latest installed
	# version of Vim for Windows and adds it to %PATH%. Re-run the
	# script when a new version of Vim is installed.

	# Get all Vim directories and sort them by version number

eggbean / install_scoop.ps1

Last active September 16, 2024 04:38

PowerShell script to install scoop for multi-users and install packages that I use.

	# PowerShell script to install scoop for multi-user and packages.
	# If re-run when scoop is already installed, any additional packages
	# are installed and shims are reset in order of the package list.
	# I prefer to keep user and global packages as the same, so there's
	# a minor inconvenience in some situations where packages will
	# be listed twice with global commands.
	#
	# To avoid git ownership warnings, read this:
	# https://stackoverflow.com/a/71904131/140872
	# git config --global --add safe.directory "*" (double quotes on Windows)

eggbean / kernel_update_check.sh

Last active June 6, 2023 05:13

Bash snippet to determine if the kernel has been updated, requiring a reboot. Tested on Debian and RHEL-based systems. If you put it in your .bashrc, surround it with (parentheses) so that it runs in a subshell, or execute it as a separate script, as otherwise it would change your nullglob shell option and current directory if sourced.

	#!/bin/bash

	cd /boot \|\| exit 1
	shopt -s nullglob ; for file in config-* ; do kernels+=( "${file#config-}" ) ; done
	newest="$(printf '%s\n' "${kernels[@]}" \| sort -V -t - -k 1,2 \| tail -n1)"
	current="$(uname -r)"
	[[ $current != $newest ]] && echo "Reboot needed for new kernel"
