1. Downloading/Installing the script

To download this script, we will be using wget, an application present on most bash compatible systems by default

$ wget https://github.com/reHackable/scripts/raw/master/host/resnap.sh

From here on, you may opt to copy the script to a path defined in the $PATH variable so that it can be executed directly from the terminal

2. Executing the script

Assuming our device is connected to the machine via USB, we can execute the script with no arguments provided. The script will attempt to connect to the device trough SSH.

It is important to note, that the device must remain unlocked until the script has completed

$ bash resnap.sh
