+# pathscripts
+
+This is a collection of useful scripts and tools I keep in my [PATH].
+I use this Git repository to sync them across multiple computers.
+
+I use scripts over shell config for a couple of reasons:
+
+-   Individual scripts are more portable.
+    I can send you a script and you can start using it immediately, even if you use a different shell.
+
+-   I can use different languages.
+    I'm not restricted to whatever my shell uses.
+
+-   It makes my shell start faster.
+    I use [fish], and I've noticed that if I write large fish config files, there's a noticeable delay between starting a shell and getting my first prompt.
+    Using scripts means I have smaller config files, and I get a first prompt faster.
+
+[PATH]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_(variable)
+[fish]: https://fishshell.com/
+
+## Usage
+
+Individual scripts have header comments explaining what they do.
+Download them and add them to your PATH.
+
+You can also clone this entire repo, then add it to your PATH, if you want to use all the scripts.
