[ShellCheck](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck) is great for linting / spotting potential errors with your shell scripts. 

[HomeSick](https://github.com/technicalpickles/homesick) is great for managing your dotfiles. Even though it's Ruby, it makes managing shell scripts pretty easy.

My current favorite is using [Imagemagick](https://www.imagemagick.org/) to resize according to Chrome Extensions Screenshot -

`magick old-image.png -resize 1240*800 new-image.png`
