Compares two source directories, one original and one post configure and deletes the differences in the source folder

Good for when your working on building a clean source install for RPM packaging or what have you. After testing, run this command to compare the original extracted source to your working source directory and it will remove the differences that are created when running './configure' and 'make'.

Better git diff, word delimited and colorized

I've been using colordiff for years. wdiff is the new fav, except its colors. Word delimited diffs are more interleaved, easing the chore of associating big blocks of changes.

Display diffed files sidebyside, with minimal differences, using the full width of the terminal.

The normal output of 'diff' is a wonderful thing. But just sometimes, you want something that is a little more... well... readable.

This is that command.

-d - (optional) find the minimal set of changes

-b - (optional) ignore changes in the amount of whitespace

-B - (optional) ignore changes that just insert or delete blank lines

-y - this is where the magic happens! Use the side-by-side output format.

-w $COLUMNS - more magic! Instead of using 80 columns, use the current width of the terminal.

Displays user-defined ps output and pidstat output about the top CPU or MEMory users.

It grabs the PID's top resource users with $(ps -eo pid,pmem,pcpu| sort -k 3 -r|grep -v PID|head -10)

The sort -k is sorting by the third field which would be CPU. Change this to 2 and it will sort accordingly.

The rest of the command is just using diff to display the output of 2 commands side-by-side (-y flag) I chose some good ones for ps.

pidstat comes with the sysstat package(sar, mpstat, iostat, pidstat) so if you don't have it, you should.

I might should take off the timestamp... :|

Compare a remote dir with a local dir

You can compare directories on two different remote hosts as well:

diff -y <(ssh user1@host1 find /boot|sort) <(ssh user2@host2 find /boot|sort)

To avoid password-prompt on remote host just generate the rsa key locally and copy it to remote host:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

then

ssh you@server1 "mkdir .ssh"

then

scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub you@server1:; .ssh/authorized_keys2

Compare latest changes in locally edited file with SVN copy of a file

If you have ever edited a locally checked out version of a file to tweak it for testing purposes, and came back to it over a weekend, you might have forgotten what you exactly changed. This command helps you see the differences between the the checked in SVN version, and the one you tweaked.
