After installation, you can run any BestShell script directly from your terminal:

• -c, --config [file]: Use custom configuration file

Practical Examples 🎯

Let's explore how to use some of the most popular BestShell scripts in real-world scenarios:

System Health Check

bestshell system-info --health-check --report

This command runs a comprehensive system health check, analyzing CPU, memory, disk, and network performance, then generates a detailed report with recommendations.

Smart File Organization

bestshell smart-rename "*.jpg" --pattern "vacation_{{date:YYYY-MM-DD}}_{{counter}}.jpg" --sort-by date

This renames all JPG files in the current directory using a pattern that includes the creation date and a sequential counter, sorting files by date.

Development Workflow

bestshell git-automator --interactive

Launches an interactive Git workflow assistant that guides you through common Git operations with intelligent suggestions based on your repository state.

Advanced Techniques 🧠

Once you're comfortable with the basics, explore these advanced capabilities:

Scripting with BestShell

BestShell scripts can be used within your own shell scripts:

#!/bin/bash

# Run system check and save result
SYSTEM_STATUS=$(bestshell system-info --health-check --output json)

# Parse the JSON for critical issues
CRITICAL_ISSUES=$(echo $SYSTEM_STATUS | jq '.issues | select(.severity == "critical")')

# Take action based on findings
if [[ ! -z $CRITICAL_ISSUES ]]; then
  echo "Critical issues found, sending notification..."
  bestshell notify --urgent --message "System needs attention: $CRITICAL_ISSUES"
fi

Custom Configurations

Create personalized configurations to adapt BestShell to your specific needs:

# Create a custom configuration
cat > ~/.bestshell/disk-analyzer.conf << EOF
{
  "exclude_dirs": ["/tmp", "/var/cache"],
  "alert_threshold": 85,
  "auto_cleanup": true,
  "cleanup_targets": ["*.tmp", "*.log", "*.cache"],
  "max_depth": 4,
  "display": "tree"
}
EOF

# Use the custom configuration
bestshell disk-analyzer --config ~/.bestshell/disk-analyzer.conf

Integration with Other Tools

BestShell works seamlessly with other command-line tools:

# Pipe output to other tools
bestshell net-monitor --output csv | awk -F, '{sum+=$3} END {print "Total bandwidth: " sum/1024/1024 " MB"}'

# Use with watch for real-time monitoring
watch -n 5 "bestshell proc-monitor --top-cpu --count 10"

# Schedule with cron
echo "0 * * * * $(which bestshell) backup-wizard --quick ~/important-docs" | crontab -
