  • Find supported dependency manager manifests

    List all dependencies manifests so you can install them. In a scenario where you want to deploy a number of web applications and run their dependency managers, how could you run all of them in a systematic order. One of the complexity is to ensure you get only your own top level dependencies. That way, you don recursively call development dependencies of your own dependencies. Otherwise you might end up discovering dependency management manifests that are already been pulled by your own projects. # Using this command This command helps me find them and I can then run what?s required to pull them from their respective sources. This command assumes the following: 1. Your code checkouts are in a flat repository layout (i.e. not nested). 2. Finds manifests for: - NPM (nodejs), - Composer (php), - bower, - requirements.txt (Python), and - git submodules Show Sample Output

    find /srv/code -maxdepth 4 -type f -regex ".*\(\(package\|composer|npm\\|bower\)\.json\|Gemfile\|requirements\.txt\\|\.gitmodules\)"

  • Listing all your bundles Entities files to issue a doctrine:generate:entities

    When I do a major change in my entities, I want to find a way to find all my Entities names and create the commande for me. So instead of doing ls src/Your/OwnBundle... and then do it manually, this helps a lot. Show Sample Output


    0
    find ./src -type d -name "Entity" | xargs ls -A | cut -d . -f1 | sed 's_^_app/console doctrine:generate:entities YourOwnBundleName:_'

update you web
in fact, I want to know, how to only get the modified files.

Press ctrl+r in a bash shell and type a few letters of a previous command
In the sample output, I pressed ctrl+r and typed the letters las. I can't imagine how much typing this has saved me.

List directories sorted by (human readable) size

Watch the progress of 'dd'
run this in another terminal, were xxxx is the process ID of the running dd process. the progress will report on the original terminal that you ran dd on

Add all unversioned files to svn
No need for grep, let awk do the match. This will not behave properly if the filenames contains whitespace, which is awk's default field separator.

Get the SUM of visual blocked digits in vim

Using the urxvt terminal daemon
- for .xsession use - Advantages of running a urxvt daemon include faster creation time for terminal windows and a lot of saved memory. You can start new terminals as childs of urxvtd by typing urxvtc. Another advantage is, that background jobs are always owned by the urxvtd and will survive as long the daemon is running.

Create test images
Useful to test programs and webpages.

df output, sorted by Use% and correctly maintaining header row
Show disk space info, grepping out the uninteresting ones beginning with ^none while we're at it. The main point of this submission is the way it maintains the header row with the command grouping, by removing it from the pipeline before it gets fed into the sort command. (I'm surprised sort doesn't have an option to skip a header row, actually..) It took me a while to work out how to do this, I thought of it as I was drifting off to sleep last night!
