> Unsurprisingly I disagree with the post's description of awk being an "advanced command". I think it can be pretty advanced, for me awk is one of those tools where I still feel like I need to write a paragraph of comments to explain 1 line of code. For example: https://github.com/nickjj/invoice/blob/75660dce5a29ceb4e47a6... Keep in mind I don't really "know" awk. I cobbled that together from a few examples. It will convert times formatted like "2h 30m", "150m" or "2:30" into 2.50. There's a bunch of examples in the test file. NOTE: I wrote that script 2.5 years ago and I know there's questionable patterns in other areas of the script that's not highlighted like using a bunch of separate echo calls instead of a heredoc. Shell scripting is really fun and efficient. I use it all the time for a variety of things.

A whole bunch of little things, mainly command line tools. Most of them are open source and also have extensive documentation and a screencast video going over them. Here's a few examples: - https://github.com/nickjj/notes - https://github.com/nickjj/invoice - https://github.com/nickjj/wait-until And a few recent scripts to optimize very specific workflows: - https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/using-ffmpeg-to-get-an-mp3s-d... - https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/a-shell-script-to-keep-a-bunc... - https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/bash-aliases-to-prepare-recor...
