Sequential revision numbers in Git

Git uses secure hash sums for its revision numbers. I'm sure this is fine and dandy for ultra-secure computing, but it's less than optimal for humans. Thus, this will give you sequential revision numbers in Git all the way from the first commit.

git rev-list --reverse HEAD | awk "/$(git log -n 1 --pretty="format:%h")/ {print NR}"

free some harddrive space by garbage collecting in all your git repos

Assumes you've cd'd to the folder in which all your git repos reside; you could run it from ~ without -maxdepth, although that might make find take quite a while longer. If you have several processor cores, but not that much ram, you might want to run git config --global pack.threads 1 first, since gc-ing can eat lots of ram. Show Sample Output

Pushing changes to an empty git repository for the first time

After cloning an empty repository on the client ("git clone" just after "git init", for instance), "git push" fails. In order to be able to push to this repository for the first time, you need to run the above command. It will link your local "master" branch to the "master" branch in the origin server, and push the changes. This is only necessary only for the first push; after that, you can use just the commands "git push" or "git pull" in order to do this operations. Show Sample Output

Cherry-pick range of commits, starting from the tip of 'master', into 'preview' branch

Creating feature-branches off master, and trying to merge them in an integration branch (preview), sometimes causes conflicts because the feature-branch might hold changes from 'master' that aren't on preview yet. So this ensures only the commits added to the feature-branch are moved to integration (preview). Note: This assumes you're currently on the feature-branch. Adjust 'master/preview' branch names to suit your environment.

git rev-list --reverse --topo-order master... | while read rev; do git checkout preview; git cherry-pick $rev || break; done

What's this?

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.

Terminal - Show directories in the PATH, one per line with sed and bash3.X `here string'

Produces a list of when your domains expire

Create a text file called domainlist.txt with a domain per line, then run the command above. All registries are a little different, so play around with the command. Should produce a list of domains and their expirations date. I am responsible for my companies domains and have a dozen or so myself, so this is a quick check if I overlooked any.

Quickly get summary of sizes for files and folders

Use this as a quick and simple alternative to the slightly verbose "du -s --max-depth=1"

Get AWS temporary credentials ready to export based on a MFA virtual appliance

You might want to secure your AWS operations requiring to use a MFA token. But then to use API or tools, you need to pass credentials generated with a MFA token. This commands asks you for the MFA code and retrieves these credentials using AWS Cli. To print the exports, you can use: `awk '{ print "export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=\"" $1 "\"\n" "export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=\"" $2 "\"\n" "export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=\"" $3 "\"" }'` You must adapt the command line to include: * $MFA_IDis ARN of the virtual MFA or serial number of the physical one * TTL for the credentials

List your installed Chromium extensions (with url to each page)

Gives you a list for all installed chrome (chromium) extensions with URL to the page of the extension. With this you can easy add a new Bookmark folder called "extensions" add every URL to that folder, so it will be synced and you can access the names from every computer you are logged in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Only tested with chromium, for chrome you maybe have to change the find $PATH.

Batch rename extension of all files in a folder, in the example from .txt to .md

Send multiple attachments using mailx

If you're users have ever asked your script to email their reports in separate attachments instead of tar'ring them into one file, then you can use this. You'll need the mailx package of course. In Unix you'd want to add an additional parameter "-m" (uuencode foo.txt foo.txt; uuencode /etc/passwd passwd.txt)|mailx -m -s "Hooosa!" someone@cmdfu.com
