How to use install

Pretty easy. Just clone this repo:

git clone [email protected]:luispuerto/bash-custom-commands.git
git clone https://github.com/luispuerto/bash-custom-commands.git # if you prefer http protocol

Then in bash or zsh you have to source updating-software.sh in your shell config file. More info here but basically:

open ~/.zshrc # for zsh
open ~/.bash_profile #for bash

And paste something like:

source ~/path/to/bash-custom-commands-repo/updating-software.sh

Open and close the terminal —or whatever you are using— and that's it.

Dependencies

• Homebrew 🍺.
• mas: brew install mas.
• trash: brew install trash.
• Of course, R, Ruby, Python 😃 too​.

If you want to use openBLAS on your R install from the binary you need to link it manually using a symbolic link. This command do it for you.

Reset the bluetooth

Fix mail app

The mail app sometimes it's a little slow opening. It seems that /Users/lpuerto/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/DataVaults/MailBundles/Library/Mail/Bundles/Properties.plist gets corrupted or something. This function just delete it and the next time mail opens the file gets recreated.

fix-mail-app

Fix Share Services

The share services sometimes doesn't work as expected when you change the size of the monitor you are using. Like for example you are using the laptop screen and you change to an external monitor, or the other way around.

The command will force kill the Messages Share Services and the TelegramShare.

fix-share-services
