Shell script to run `git pull` inside all subdirectories which are git repositories. I keep a number of projects in a folder & this helps me avoid manually updating each.
#!/usr/bin/env fish
# similar script in Fish
# still under construction, need to quiet `git status` more effectively
function update -d 'Update git repo'
git stash --quiet
git pull
git stash apply --quiet

#' Simplified loading and installing of packages
#'
#' This is a wrapper to \code{\link{require}} and \code{\link{install.packages}}.
#' Specifically, this will first try to load the package(s) and if not found
#' it will install then load the packages. Additionally, if the
#' \code{update=TRUE} parameter is specified it will check the currently
#' installed package version with what is available on CRAN (or mirror) and
#' install the newer version.
#'
#' @param pkgs a character vector with the names of the packages to load.

This is a quick shortcut using word_count and character_count functions from qdap package. See below for two wrapper functions that simplify their use.

library("qdap")

Just select and copy the text to the clipboard and then run in the console:
