Building Utility Scripts with Bash

Created a collection of Bash scripts automating file management, password generation, and system insights.

As part of improving my systems engineering and automation skills, I built several Bash scripts and stored them in a public GitHub repository.

Some examples include:

  • Countdown Timer: Displays a live countdown to a user-specified duration
  • File Organizer: Sorts files into subdirectories based on their extensions
  • Password Generator: Generates secure random alphanumeric passwords of custom length
  • Disk Usage Reporter: Lists the top 5 subdirectories by disk usage in a specified directory

I also made use of tools like awk, sed, and parameter expansion to process data efficiently and improve shell fluency.

This project helped strengthen my understanding of Unix-based automation, scripting design, and text processing.

Impact

Enhanced proficiency in Bash and core Linux utilities, improving workflow efficiency through practical automation scripts.
