We all hate repetitive tasks, those small annoying, time wasting tasks that drain you every time you have to do them, but you do HAVE to do them. Well in this video I show you that a computer could be scripted/programmed to do all those rubbish things and I even show you a personal example of my own repetitive process that I made a computer do instead using a shell script and a wonderful command line tool called ADB.
ADB (Android Debug Bridge) Google Developer Page:
https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb
ADB lets your computer talk to your android device and you can essentially control your phone (parts of it anyway) through your terminal. So I created a script that uses the ADB PUSH & ADB PULL commands to automatically take my newest video that I have just recorded from my phone and place it on my computer, ready for editing (the script in question, called "vidpull" like video pull, is in the gist link below)...
Code Gist - vidpull script:

This video scratches just the top surface of what ADB can do in regards to interacting with a connected android device, there is so much more. I implore you to have a read yourself and dig a little deeper into it if you are interested! Also hopefully this video shows you a little bit about my process when it comes to defeating and never repeating those monotonous tasks that are so easy for a computer to do, you just need the right script!
Thanks for watching, please let me know if there is any other topics that you would like me to cover as I start to slowly add more content to this channel...
