📜 Scripts Management Process#

Workstation Sync Shortcut: To automatically backup all your scripts and custom terminal aliases configuration (staging and pushing your entire ~/Scripts/ repository):

pushscripts

This will stage all modified files in ~/Scripts/, commit, and push updates directly to GitHub and your NAS (without running Homebrew operations).

Workstation Update Shortcut: To pull down the latest custom scripts and terminal aliases from GitHub on an existing machine (after the first-time setup is complete):

Scripts Management Migration Plan#

This document is the master architectural migration plan for establishing /Users/marc/Scripts as your primary local master Git repository, linked to git@github.com:marcoue/Scripts.git, with automated mirroring to the UNAS-Pro NAS (/Volumes/Software/Software/Scripts/) and automated pull execution by remote TrueNAS/Linux/Proxmox nodes.

1. Executive Summary & Architecture Goal#

🎯 Primary Master Architecture#

1. Master Repository: /Users/marc/Scripts on your Mac SSD is your primary master repository for editing, testing, running, and managing all homelab scripts.
2. GitHub Remote: Linked to git@github.com:marcoue/Scripts.git on branch main.
3. Automated NAS Mirroring: A Git post-commit hook automatically syncs committed scripts from ~/Scripts/ to /Volumes/Software/Software/Scripts/ on UNAS-Pro.
4. Remote Server Pull Execution: Remote servers (HP1, HP2, HP3, HP7, HP8, Proxmox, Linux) pull their scripts from UNAS-Pro (Software/Scripts/) on their scheduled runs.

📂 1.1 Filesystem Standard & Disaster Recovery Protocol#

1. Standard POSIX Filesystem Path:
   • The destination path /Volumes/Software/Software/Scripts/ (and subfolders MacOS/, Linux/, Proxmox/, TrueNAS/) is a standard, plain-text directory tree residing on the mounted Software SMB share (smb://10.1.2.2/Software). There are zero proprietary databases, hidden hooks, or custom file structures on the NAS.
2. Mac Auto-Mount Convenience (Login Items):
   • To ensure the SMB share is always available for Git post-commit auto-mirroring, add /Volumes/Software to macOS System Settings > General > Login Items.
3. macOS Reinstall / Disaster Recovery:
   • Reinstalling or replacing macOS on your Mac Studio has zero effect on UNAS-Pro or TrueNAS servers. The NAS files remain intact, and TrueNAS backup cron jobs continue executing without interruption.
   • To restore your Mac workstation repo after a fresh macOS install:

     # Step 1: Clone master repository from GitHub
     git clone git@github.com:marcoue/Scripts.git ~/Scripts
     
     # Step 2: Re-install 1-line Git post-commit auto-mirror hook
     cat << 'EOF' > ~/Scripts/.git/hooks/post-commit
     #!/usr/bin/env bash
     if [ -d "/Volumes/Software/Software/Scripts" ]; then
         rsync -av --delete --exclude='.git' --exclude='*.log' /Users/marc/Scripts/ /Volumes/Software/Software/Scripts/
     fi
     EOF
     chmod +x ~/Scripts/.git/hooks/post-commit
