To get a list of those functionalities and categories, you can look at the directory structure: it’s one-to-one with the menu tree of the scripts and all the scripts are named logically (like: “Image” → “Image:convert” → “Image: Convert to JPG”). If you click on any of the files in the repo view, it opens the tree on the left. I like that there are scripts here that make some security habits more easily and readily available, but also helps new linux users who aren’t that familiar with console commands.
Here is the listing of all the categories and scripts/functions

I took a look at the bash install script and it seemed ok to me (which may not suffice to all as an assurance, but it’s what’s available to all to check - these are simple scripts and this is open code). There are two methods to install - curl/wget and cloning the thing - and I kinda skipped the former and viewed the latter (but your general point is valid).
To educate: Since this is well structured and each function is in a separate file, it’s easy to look at the contents to get some sense how safe it is. I did not recognize any obfuscation. Even for any beginner to do a check (all or random) it’s easy to copy paste those texts to an AI and ask “What does this script do and is it safe to execute [add direct link or copy text]” (noting that it’s not perfect but just one way to apply open source methodology - safety comes when enough people do it and using AI is one way to get into this habit and learn).
Here's an example summary of the install.sh
What looks good
Blocks running as root: it explicitly refuses id -u == 0.
- User-scoped install: installs under your home directory (not /etc, /usr, etc.).
- No obvious persistence mechanisms in the shown code: no cron/systemd/autostart in the visible sections.
- No obvious data exfiltration: no curl/wget/ssh/upload logic appears in the sections retrieved.
Potentially risky areas to inspect (even if not “suspicious”)
Remote bootstrap mode
- The script says: if .common-functions.sh is missing, it “download[s] the tarball and continue[s]…”, then exits.
- That bootstrap function is where you’d want to confirm it only downloads from expected URLs (the repo) and doesn’t execute arbitrary third-party code.
Dependency installation
- In _check_dependencies() / _install_packages(), it can run package manager commands and will use sudo when available.
- That’s not malware, but it is a clear elevation step (limited to installing packages). The main thing to verify is that it installs only a known list of packages (it appears to) and doesn’t pull/exeute random scripts.
Copying and chmod’ing installed scripts
- It copies repository scripts into ~/.local/share/scripts and then runs find ... -exec chmod +x.
- This is normal for action scripts, but it means whatever is inside this repo at install time becomes executable on your system.
Suspiciousness verdict (based on what AI saw)
- No clear red flags in the visible parts: nothing like credential theft, persistence, remote shells, or exfiltration is evident.
- Moderate caution only because the installer supports remote execution/bootstrapping, so you should audit the bootstrap code path and confirm it only fetches trusted content from the repo.
[Edit to add: More extensive article about checking security/safety of repos: How to check if a GitHub repository is secure - but I’d rather separate this to another forked topic if there are more comments to this, just to stay on file manager use here]
