## What it is
A collection of small, dependency-free bash scripts for heavy terminal users, covering utilities like cheatsheet lookup, file encryption, GitHub-to-BitBucket backup, weather, currency conversion, and more. Each tool is a standalone shell script tested on macOS, Linux, and Windows' bash.

## Use cases
- quickly look up command options and code snippets from the terminal
- encrypt and decrypt files with AES-256 from the command line
- back up GitHub repositories to BitBucket
- check weather or currency exchange rates without leaving the terminal
- generate QR codes or shorten URLs from the shell
- play YouTube videos from the terminal

## When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want small standalone utilities with no dependencies
- you want a single toolkit of handy bash scripts across macOS and Linux
- you need quick CLI conveniences like cheatsheets, encryption, or backups without installing heavy software

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained or feature-rich tools rather than a script collection
- you are on Cygwin or MSYS2, which are not supported
- you need a GUI or cross-platform desktop application
