Single-purpose shell scripts for Ubuntu server provisioning. Open the file. Read it. Run it. Move on.
⚠️ Server-only. Every script in this org carries the same warning: DO NOT RUN ON YOUR PC OR MAC. These scripts disable SSH password auth, create system users, and install daemons — exactly the things you don't want on a laptop.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/x-shell-codes/<repo>/master/<repo>.sh
sudo bash <repo>.sh [flags]For example, install Redis with a password:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/x-shell-codes/redis/master/redis.sh
sudo bash redis.sh -p=mySecretA natural order. Run them top-to-bottom on a blank Ubuntu image.

📐 Conventions
- One concern per repo — a script does one thing
- Read before you run — they make root-level changes; the source is short and intentionally readable
- Ubuntu-first — most cover 14.04 → 22.04, a few are 20.04 / 22.04 only
- No hidden network calls — anything fetched is visible in the script
- Idempotent where possible — re-running shouldn't make things worse
