Figures out total line contribution per author for an entire GIT repo. Includes binary files, which kind of mess up the true count. If crashes or takes too long, mess with the ls-file option at the start: git ls-files -x "*pdf" -x "*psd" -x "*tif" to remove really random binary files git ls-files "*.py" "*.html" "*.css" to only include specific file types Based off my original SVN version: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/2787/prints-total-line-count-contribution-per-user-for-an-svn-repository Show Sample Output
Perl is installed by default on most modern OS when jot is not. Show Sample Output
Most of the "most used commands" approaches does not consider pipes and other complexities. This approach considers pipes, process substitution by backticks or $() and multiple commands separated by ; Perl regular expression breaks up each line using | or < ( or ; or ` or $( and picks the first word (excluding "do" in case of for loops) note: if you are using lots of perl one-liners, the perl commands will be counted as well in this approach, since semicolon is used as a separator Show Sample Output
just a bit simpler
Reads stdin, and outputs each line only once - without sorting ahead of time. This does use more memory than your system's sort utility.
Bork, bork, bork! To keep it short, the first terminal line doesn't show a prompt. Show Sample Output
This command will display all lines between 2 patterns: word-a and word-b useful for grepping command outputs from file
Good for summing the numbers embedded in text - a food journal entry for example with calories listed per food where you want the total calories. Use this to monitor and keep a total on anything that ouputs numbers. Show Sample Output
This pipeline will find, sort and display all files based on mtime. This could be done with find | xargs, but the find | xargs pipeline will not produce correct results if the results of find are greater than xargs command line buffer. If the xargs buffer fills, xargs processes the find results in more than one batch which is not compatible with sorting. Note the "-print0" on find and "-0" switch for perl. This is the equivalent of using xargs. Don't you love perl? Note that this pipeline can be easily modified to any data produced by perl's stat operator. eg, you could sort on size, hard links, creation time, etc. Look at stat and just change the '9' to what you want. Changing the '9' to a '7' for example will sort by file size. A '3' sorts by number of links.... Use head and tail at the end of the pipeline to get oldest files or most recent. Use awk or perl -wnla for further processing. Since there is a tab between the two fields, it is very easy to process. Show Sample Output
the command show can be run in vim, here is the same thing on the command line
cat script.pl | perl -MO=Deparse | perltidy
Converts Unix epoch time to localtime. Useful for any logs that only display epoch time. Show Sample Output
This method will also convert mac line endings.
This version works on an AIX system on which I have very limited permissions. The other version fails with "Can't open file /usr/opt/perl588/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/aix/auto/DBI/.packlist".
This command turns a multi-line file into a single line joined with <SOMETEXT>. To skip blank lines, use:
perl -pe '(eof()||s/^\s*$//)||s/\n/<SOMETEXT>/g' file.txt
Show Sample Output
F[0] filters using first word. $F[1] - 2nd, and so on.
If you've ever tried "grep -P" you know how terrible it is. Even the man page describes it as "highly experimental". This function will let you 'grep' pipes and files using Perl syntax for regular expressions. The first argument is the pattern, e.g. '/foo/'. The second argument is a filename (optional). Show Sample Output
making it "sound" more "natural" language like -- additionally sorting the longest words alphabetically: this approach is using: * to get at all lines of input * post-"for" structure * short-circuit-or in sort: if the lengths are the same, then sort alphabetically otherwise don't even evaluate the right hand side of the or * -C sets all input and ouput channels to utf8
Print environment (system) information using Perl.
Just another FizzBuzz in Perl. Show Sample Output
Using perl and tput, show all the colors with numbers that your actual $TERM can handle.
If want to remove the numbers at beginning of new line, it should be something like this:
perl -E 'say `tput setb $_`," "x `tput cols`, `tput sgr0` for 0 .. (`tput colors` - 1)'
