mount-pi

mount-pi is a small macOS helper script for mounting Raspberry Pi project directories over SSHFS using macFUSE. It is intended for workflows where local tools such as VS Code or Codex need file-level access to a remote Pi checkout, while builds and tests still run on the Pi.

The script uses SSH aliases from ~/.ssh/config, so user names, hostnames, ports, keys, and host-key behavior stay in your normal SSH configuration.

MOTD Manager Documentation

Overview

motd-manager.sh is a Bash utility for managing a clean, colored dynamic MOTD (Message of the Day) on Raspberry Pi or Debian-based systems. It replaces the default kernel banner and legal boilerplate with a concise, informative, and visually distinct MOTD that includes host information, OS version, uptime, network details, and board type (if running on a Raspberry Pi).

Quick Install

Disable Power Management and Graphical Login on Debian

If you use a laptop tucked away as a Linux host, you may want to disable any power manegement (sleep/hibernate) as well as any desktop environments, use this script:

`disable_power_and_gui.sh`

wget -qO- https://gist.githubusercontent.com/lbussy/2884187dcad127b1b9ad3bbeb5697d90/raw/disable_power_and_gui.sh | sudo bash

Sync All Branches

This script automates the process of synchronizing a Git repository by ensuring all remote branches are tracked locally, pulling updates with fast-forward-only behavior, updating submodules (when present), and optionally deleting local branches that no longer exist on the remote.

Features

Clones the repo (with submodules) if not already present
Fetches and prunes all remote branches
Tracks all origin/* branches as local branches if missing
Checks out each branch:

Clean Whitespace

Overview

whitespace_clean is a Bash script designed to remove extraneous whitespace from source code and text files. It helps maintain clean, readable files by stripping trailing whitespace from supported file types.

Features

Processes files recursively or in a single directory
Supports dry-run mode to preview changes

Debug Script Example

This script demonstrates how to implement debug functionality to a Bash script in a simple, extensible manner. It provides a mechanism to enable and pass debug information throughout the script, allowing developers to trace function calls and view debug messages during execution.

How is this different than just dropping echo everywhere?

	#!/usr/bin/env bash
	#
	# Environment diagnostics for build failures
	# Collects system, CPU, memory, swap, disk, and compiler info
	#

	set -e
	clear

	printf "%s\n\n" "=== System ==="

	#!/usr/bin/env bash
	set -euo pipefail
	IFS=$'\n\t'
