Potentially Useful Do-Everything Script
[BTW: I am editing this post as the script is updated so refer back for further edits.]
I'm just a newbie at developing - submitted my first patch today - and one of the things one has to do to get up and running is to read about 5 tons of documentation and figure out workflows. Since I was having lots of potentially useful scripts suggested to me by developers and by the wiki and since I am at heart a toolmaker I put them all together and documented everything to the best of my ability.
I think this works but it's way past my bedtime right now and I haven't tested every single combination so if it eats your code, your data, or your firstborn child be in on your own head. OTOH I think it should work right!
For new folks, you need to copy everything in the text box above and paste it into a new file on your Dreamhack. I suggest you put it in the ~/bin directory and call the file 'dw', because then your system matches mine :). Then you need to make that file executable by typing 'chmod +755 ~/bin/dw' or whatever filename you used. After that you can type 'dw' and it should execute just fine, it'll give you instructions.
I would welcome fixes, constructive criticism, or anything else you have to offer. Feel free to use this in any way you want, etc.

(...also I changed "Exitting" to "Exiting", because spelling is weird)

<textarea rows='5' cols='80'>paste script or HTML or whatever you want cut & pastable without the site interpreting it</textarea>
which gives you:
You can change the rows & cols to make it bigger or smaller.

Also, it might be worth adding idiot-proof instructions at the top, explaining that you have to copy the stuff in the box into a new file called ~/bin/doeverything and give it the right permissions and so on.

Added some instructions - are they at a good level or should it be more detailed??
