+# Useful Shell Scripts
+
+I make it a habit to put all my user-scripts in `~/bin/' and add that to my `$PATH'.  Another useful tip is to prepend all my scripts using a "," - this allows me to quickly take advantage of zsh's autocomplete.  For the curious, you could also adopt quiuy as part of the scripts - it has the advantage of adding more semantic meaning to your scripts.
+
+Most of these scripts were borrowed from:

+
+Here are the scripts that make me more efficient on the terminal:
+
+* Run a script in the context of a directory: ",run-with-dir"
+
+```
+#!/bin/sh
+set -eo pipefail
+
+# Run a command in specific directory
+run_within_dir() {
+    target_dir="$1"
+    previous_dir=$(pwd)
+    shift
+    cd $target_dir && "$@"
+    cd $previous_dir
+}
+
+run_within_dir $@
+```
+
+If you are in `$HOME', you can do something like: "run-within-dir /tmp"
+
+* Choose a guix profile on the fly: ",choose-profile":
+
+```
+#!/bin/env sh
+
+# To run this use source!
+
+GUIX_PROFILE="$(guix package --list-profiles | fzf --multi)"
+
+export GUIX_PROFILE
+. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
+```
+
+* Run magit from any terminal: ",magit".  You can take of fzf's autocomplete
+
+```
+#!/bin/env sh
+
+emacsclient --eval "(projectile-vc \"$PWD/$@\")"
+```
+
+Should these scripts become too many, a repository will be created and a link added to point there.
