Warning

Some of these tools contain obvious problems and should be considered as "proof of concept" code. I'm putting it here with the hope that it is useful to someone. No judging me. Look at my other repositories for that.

Installation

Recent versions of bash, perl, python etc are probably required.

Check each script for additional dependencies.

The following should work on any unix-ish environment:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makeyourownmaker/misc/master/<scriptname>
chmod u+x <scriptname>
./<scriptname>

Usage

Read the source code to see what parameters are required or which variables need to be edited.

Roadmap

Probably going to make few to no changes. Some of these scripts may already be broken.

Most of these utilities are not used on a regular basis but if one starts to become really useful I'll move it to a separate repository.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome.
