From time to time I see posts on r/sysadmin asking what "What are your daily tools" or "What are some of your favorite tools" or "What is on your USB toolkit".
The way I keep track of my favorite Apps/Scripts/Tools is by using my personal and work OneDrive. I do this by creating a Apps, Scripts and Tools folder in the root of my OneDrive.
Then inside of each of these folders, I create folders for each item. Inside each item's folder, I create a shortcut to their website and usually save the most recent version.
There are teo main problems with this approach.
-
Keeping my personal and work OneDrives synced between each other.
-
If I were to get a new job I have to make sure to export everything but I do not like logging in to my personal account on my work device and I don't like logging in to my work account on my personal device.
Seeing these kind of posts got me thinking to make a single repository.
