Contains utilities that make building the images more convenient.

• util-hdx.sh

  Displays the file head and executes the chosen line, removing the first occurrence of '#' and trimming the line from left first. Providing the line number argument skips the interaction and executes the given line directly.

  The comment lines at the top of included Dockerfiles are intended for this utility.

  The utility displays the help if started with the-h or--help argument. It has been developed using my other utilitiesutility-argbash-init.sh andutility-argbash.sh, contained in theaccetto/argbash-docker Git Hub repository, from which theaccetto/argbash-docker Docker image is built.

• util-refresh-readme.sh

  This script can be used for updating theversion sticker badges in README files. It is intended for local use before publishing the repository.

  The script does not include any help, because it takes only a single argument - the path where to start searching for files (default is../docker).
