Custom scripts in ~/bin/. All are plain bash. ~/bin is on PATH via ~/.profile.
Push local mirror to tilde.town:
rsync -avz \ --exclude='.ssh' --exclude='mbox' --exclude='.DS_Store' \ --exclude='node_modules' --exclude='_site' --exclude='.git' \ . tilde.town:~
Pull tilde.town down to the local mirror (same excludes, direction reversed):
rsync -avz <excludes> tilde.town:~ .
Creates a timestamped .tar.gz in ~/tilde-town-backups/:
tar -czf ~/tilde-town-backups/tilde-town-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.tar.gz \ .bashrc .bash_aliases .vimrc .nanorc \ .ttbp .botany .prosaic \ public_html public_gopher \ .plan .project .pronouns \ --exclude='.ttbp/www' --exclude='.ttbp/gopher'
Excludes the generated HTML/Gopher output from ttbp (only source files are backed up).
Copies gopherhole source to gopherholes/output/:
mkdir -p gopherholes/output/ cp gopherholes/gophermap gopherholes/output/ cp -r gopherholes/{blog,about,projects} gopherholes/output/
Then sync with sync-to-tilde.sh. See Gopher.
Copies Gemini capsule source to gemlogs/output/:
mkdir -p gemlogs/output/ cp gemlogs/{index,about,feed}.gmi gemlogs/output/ cp -r gemlogs/posts gemlogs/output/
Then sync with sync-to-tilde.sh. See Gemini.
Thin wrapper — just launches the ttbp TUI:
~/.ttbp/bin/ttbp
Convenience script for running from outside the tilde.town environment. See tilde.town Tools.
