🛠 Features

• Automated Swapfile Creation: Easily create a swapfile with a specified size.
• FSTAB Integration: Automatically updates /etc/fstab to ensure the swapfile is mounted at boot.
• Safety Checks: Skips swapfile creation if an entry already exists.
• Simple CLI Interface: Run the script with a single command.

📥 Installation

Install SwapForge using Kevin's Package Manager under the alias swafo:

package-manager install swafo

This command installs SwapForge globally, making it available as swafo in your terminal. 🚀

---

🚀 Usage

Run SwapForge from the command line by specifying the desired swapfile size. For example, to create a 2G swapfile:

swafo 2G

The script will check if a swapfile entry already exists in /etc/fstab. If not, it will create the swapfile, set the correct permissions, format it as swap, activate it, and append the necessary entry to /etc/fstab.
