* 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.

- Run a script with a directory: ",run-with-dir"

#+begin_src sh
#!/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 $@
#+end_src

If you are in =$HOME=, you can do something like: "run-within-dir /tmp"

- Choose a guix profile on the fly: ",choose-profile":

  #+begin_src sh
#!/bin/env sh

# To run this use source!

GUIX_PROFILE="$(guix package --list-profiles | fzf --multi)"

export GUIX_PROFILE
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
  #+end_src

- Run magit from any terminal: ",magit".  You can take of fzf's autocomplete

  #+begin_src sh
#!/bin/env sh

emacsclient --eval "(projectile-vc \"$PWD/$@\")"
  #+end_src
