simple shell script for soar

[anon-18585]

Hii ,

I've been using soar to avoid the AUR for a while now and i thought " why not try to learn shell script and actually scripting a .sh that will help me with soar when i install it on another pc or distro ?".
I ended up doing this unfinished thing that just works ( for the moment )

soar-choice.sh

its basically my first ever script so its no too too unbreakable.

echo "something"
