Anyone who is familiar with Linux knows that to use your OS to the max, you will need to use the terminal every now and then. Whether it is to install a package or update the system or even delete a file.

However, this "tool" is now on your Android phone and can easily accessed by using a terminal emulator to run your day-to-day commands.

The terminal emulator is a great tool to have but what to do if you want more, or if you run a command everyday and hate writing it over and over again given you have root?
