Thought I would share a small personal milestone with the community. Hope you don't mind.
A hobby project of mine called Mend was recently accepted into the
awesome-zsh-plugins list.Linux users are understandably sceptical about new tools that promise to make life easier, so I am keeping my expectations firmly grounded, but seeing it get a bit of official recognition feels brilliant.
It is essentially a distro-agnostic terminal assistant designed to help out when things go wrong. If you make a typo, a command fails, a library is missing, or a database is locked, it hooks into your history to get things sorted right from the terminal without a fuss.
It also includes a system scan feature that looks at your hardware to recommend the right drivers and specific packages, which comes in handy during a fresh setup.
It is completely a spare-time passion project, and having it included in the main list is a massive boost.
If anyone fancies giving it a look, the code is on GitHub and it is available on the AUR. I am just really happy to see something I built for myself actually becoming useful to the wider community.
Thank you all for your support throughout the whole journey.
Without your suggestions and the terminal outputs that have been kindly provided by the r/linux and r/commandline community I would not be able to get Mend where it is now.
