What is this repo?

This is a repo with all my personal scripts that I use. Suggestions for improving the scripts are welcome. As it's for my personal scripts, I make no attempt to package the scripts that I use. However, I do try to keep my scripts platform independent, so it should be relatively easy to adapt any of these scripts for your own use.

About the contents

agb_funcs.py

This file has helper functions for auto_gen_bookmarks.py. Each of the three functions has docstrings, and you can see those for information on the functions.

auto_gen_bookmarks.py

This script reads the bookmarks stored by the Brave browser, and then generates an Emacs org-mode or markdown file containing the bookmarks. The below shows usage informaiton:

usage: auto_gen_bookmarks.py [-h] [-p PROFILE_NUM] [-o OUTFILE_NAME] [-m] [-P]
                             [-t PANDOC_OUT_FORMAT] [-k]

Program to read the JSON that the Brave browser stores its bookmarks info in
and create an org mode (or markdown) file containing said bookmarks from it.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PROFILE_NUM, --profile_num PROFILE_NUM
                        The profile to take the bookmarks from. If zero is
                        entered, the program reads from the profile named
                        'Default'. This argument defaults to 0
  -o OUTFILE_NAME, --outfile_name OUTFILE_NAME
                        The name of the file produced by the script and
                        written to the disk.
  -m, --as_markdown     Make the file produced be in markdown format instead
                        of the default org-mode.
  -P, --post_process    Convert the file to some format after the markdown or
                        org mode document is produced. This uses the program
                        pandoc, and this functionality requires it as a
                        dependency.
  -t PANDOC_OUT_FORMAT, --pandoc_out_format PANDOC_OUT_FORMAT
                        Format to pass to pandoc as the type of the output
                        format. Suggestions are pdf, docx, html, and others
                        that play nicely with naming. Use in conjunction with
                        -P. This argument will default to html.
  -k, --keep_pp_file    This flag will cause the intermediate markdown or org
                        mode file produced to be kept. Use in conjunction with
                        -P.

get_sched_ss.py

This is a script to get a screenshot of one's schedule using George's Schedule Machine and data from one's SIS. It gets login info from Bitwarden CLI, and then logs in to the user's SIS with their credentials. Note: to individualize this for your use, be sure to change the mechanism for getting the login info, even if you do use bw, as the way I have it configured, it queries using the object ID, which is not portable. Then, once obtaining the credentials, it goes to George's Schedule Machine and inputs the schedule data, saving screenshots of the table elements for the first and second semester.

make_volunteer_hrs_entry.py

This script is to automate the reporting of volunteer hours with HelperHelper. It requires a TOML input file, which it then uses to enter the form information into HelperHelper.

usage: make_volunteer_hrs_entry.py [-h] [-i INPUT_FILE] [-H]

Program to automate the reporting of volunteer hours for IMSA using Selenium
and TOML.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INPUT_FILE, --input_file INPUT_FILE
                        The TOML file to read as input containing the relevant
                        information to be inputed in their fields. See
                        ~/bin/mvhe/example.toml for an example.
  -H, --headful         Run the selenium webdriver in headful mode, opening
                        the browser so that the user can see what's happening.

Directories

mvhe

This directory has a template and an example of the TOML used by the make_volunteerhrs_entry.py script. example.toml contains an example, while template.toml contains basically the same file with the fields replace by easily searchable placeholders. Each field name corresponds with the corresponding field name in the HelperHelper volunteer form.

.templates

The files in this directory are templates for the scripts I make. The names are self-explanatory.
