• githelper.sh — interactive helper for common Git operations such as staging, unstaging, committing, branching, merging, pushing, and managing remotes.
• laravelarch.sh — installs and configures a Laravel development stack using nginx, php, php-fpm, mariadb, composer, and related services.
• nuser.sh — creates a new system user with sudo access and a Bash shell.
• pkgbuilder.sh — interactive helper to create or update a PKGBUILD file.
• killuser.sh — delete/remove/kill user via input.
