Idea¶
Basic Idea¶
So originally I just wanted to give my bash some extra commands and customization, so I created .bashrc_custom with the help of Perplexity.
With this I started to learn a bit of bash myself. I learned how to create my own aliases and simple functions. So the first that I did was the aptt command. Originally it just updated all of apt, flatpak, Discord and the MasterRC script.
A little about myself¶
I always try to make things look nice and clean and I think I was able to do this here too.
For example:
The output of the aptt command
< master3307@MasterUSBPC > ~ $ aptt
------------------------------
Updating Masterrc...
----------------
Downloading ~/.bash_custom
Source line already in ~/.bashrc
----------------
Done, Installed/Updated masterrc.
... and have fun with whatever you just installed :3
Feel free to try "aptt" in a Terminal. It updates everything.
Also.. you can run "feature" to install additional features and !
Reload your shell with: source ~/.bashrc
------------------------------
Updating Flatpak...
Looking for updates…
Nothing to do.

Updated Everything, Enjoy :D
I even color coded everything!
Overall I like to make scripts that might be useful or customize anything I got nicely and conveniently. And I actually just wanted to make this conveniently public so I could easily update it after adding new stuff to github. Then it got more and more "production ready". I made some small additions to make it work on multiple Systems and made it kind of user friendly. I think I did, yes XD
You have to decide that for yourself though. I really like how it is looking right now.
Before GitHub¶
So before I had this repo I just used https://server.master3307.org, my Fileserver made from CopyParty, to host the .bashrc_custom file. It was horrible XD
I had to open the file in https://server.master3307.org and edit it there each time I wanted to update it. That got really annoying really quickly. So I simply made this GitHub repository to publicly host the files and edit them from my home PC via Kate at first.
Now I use VS Code for editing the code though. I enjoy it and I used it some time ago with https://home.master3307.org... (purely written with AI btw. Using GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT at the time.)
Final thoughts¶
I am insanely glad that I made this and that people I showed this to find it pretty cool. If you, dear reader, are interested in contributing, feel free. Really.
I would be very happy.
Have a great day! :D
