# bin
My Linux `~/bin` folder, including my `.bashrc` and `.bash_aliases`.

This repository will contain all the various tools and / or commands I find that I put in my `~/bin` folder.

Here's a list of the most interesting ones, along with what they do and where they came from (assuming I can find / remember):
