Sakura

Sakura stands for Swiss Army Knife Uncanny Repository and Awesome :)

It's a very nice way to color your life, I guess. It also provides a lot of tools, aliases, .. that power your shell experience. If you're not a shell guy, you shouldn't be using it. If you are, you can have your shell PS1 to be changed to have the Italian flag, or Irish, or Argentinian, for instance. :)

Synopsis

This is my famous SVN which is becoming opensource!

Install

Go to the directory where you want to 'install' this software. Then download the repo:

git clone git://github.com/palladius/sakura.git
cat sakura/templates/bashrc.inject >> ~/.bashrc

Note. Any help is appreciated to make this changeable!

Usage

See doc/sakura-samples.txt for some usage. For instant gratification try the following:

richelp ubuntu                                   # shows a richelp of my 'ubuntu' cheatsheet
richelp sakura synopsis                          # shows a richelp of my 'sakura' cheatsheet, grepping for 'synopsis'
ls | act                                         # randomly scrambles the lines! Taken from cat/cat ;)
ps | rainbow                                     # colors all lines differently
twice itunes -                                   # lowers volume of iTunes... twice :)
10 echo Bart Simpson likes it DRY                # tells you this 10 times. Very sarcastic script!
seq 100 | 1suN 7                                 # prints every 7th element of the list
zombies                                          # prints processes that show zombies (plus funny options to kill them)
find . -size +300M | xargs mvto /tmp/bigfiles/   # moves big files to that directory
alias gp='never_as_root git pull'                # only if u r not root it runs!
tellme-time                                      # Tells you the time with Riccardo voice in Italian. Brilliant!
find-duplicates .                                # Tells you files with same size/MD5 in this directory
facter is_google_vm                              # Tells if it's a GCE Virtual Machine
