Install a Minetest mod from GitHub

Where $1 = author and $2 = mod name You need to be running a daily build of Minetest (for example from the 'minetestdevs/daily-builds' PPA), or some bleeding edge mods will not work or crash the game. Update a mod by entering its subdirectory under ~/.minetest/mods and doing git pull && git submodule update --recursive --remote --init

The idea is to get the current branch name directly using git symbolic-ref --short HEAD name and not type it manually. Show Sample Output

git push --set-upstream origin `git symbolic-ref --short HEAD`

Git reset added new files

1. No for-loop, but xargs. 2. Append "--" in git-reset HEAD command to deal with filenames contained leading hyphen/minus sign (-). 3. Add "--porcelain" option in git-status command for easy-to-parse format when scripting. 4. Add "--no-run-if-empty" option in xargs command to prevent you run it twice and accidentally reset all staged changes. 5. Use zero byte (NUL character) as line terminator instead of newline (\n) to make it more robust to deal with filename with whitespaces. pipe#1: git-status. pipe#2: Use "grep" to filter out "non-added" files. pipe#3: use "sed" to Trim out the leading three characters, reserve the filename. pipe#4: xargs + git-reset... p.s. The "HEAD" in git-reset can be omitted . And, maybe, the third part of this shell pipe (sed) has potential to be enhanced.

Batch Remove git tags from remote server

We had a number of git tags named similarly to: 2016.12.13.devel.feature 2016.12.14.master.release But we have multiple developers making commits and tags for testing purposes. I wanted to reduce the number of tags that displayed on our cloud hosting server when doing a deployment.

Cleanup remote git repository of all branches already merged into master

This is useful in teams where developers don't bother to remove branches after merging PR. These branches make it hard to seek for really useful branches, which gives us a nice value of finding and exploring other people's code even before they create PR for it.

Compute newest kernel version from Makefile on Torvalds' git repository

Get newest kernel version by parsing the most bleeding-edge Makefile possible. Useful for doing things like writing live ebuilds and/or self-updating PKGBUILDs for testing purposes. Breakdown: * wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torvalds/linux/master/Makefile — retrieve Makefile and pipe to stdout * head -n5 — only the first 5 lines are relevant, that's where all the version variables are grep -E '\ \=\ [0-9]{1,}' — version variables always have an equals sign followed by a number * cut -d' ' -f3 — extract the individual numbers from the version variables * tr '\n' '.' — replace newlines with periods * sed -e "s/\.$// — remove trailing period Show Sample Output

Prints per-line contribution per author for a GIT repository

You'll run into trouble if you have files w/ missing newlines at the end. I tried to use PAGER='sed \$q' git blame and even PAGER='sed \$q' git -p blame to force a newline at the end, but as soon as the output is redirected, git seems to ignore the pager.

bash script to zip a folder while ignoring git files and copying it to dropbox

If like me you do a lot of front-end coding and you have a lot of clients that asks you some little modifications, then you send the modifications back to them in a zip file while ignoring the .git folder and .gitignore file, then copy this zip into your dropbox and send it back to them. They find out a new bug so, rince and repeat? You get the picture. It can be quite tedious.

zip -r homard homard -x homard/.git\*; cp ./homard.zip /path_to_dropbox_public_folder/homard.zip

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.

Generate random valid mac addresses

Doubt it actually generates valid mac addresses but this version doesn't need any external commands so it runs much faster. Much shorter as well.

How to run a command on a list of remote servers read from a file

The important thing to note in this command, is the "-n" flag.

Rename files in batch

Sort files in folders alphabetically

Creates one letter folders in the current directory and moves files with corresponding initial in the folder.

convert single digit to double digits

Uses 'rename' to pad zeros in front of first existing number in each filename. The "--" is not required, but it will prevent errors on filenames which start with "-". You can change the "2d" to any number you want, equaling the total numeric output: aka, 4d = ????, 8d = ????????, etc. I setup a handful of handy functions to this effect (because I couldn't figure out how to insert a var for the value) in the form of 'padnum?', such as: padnum5 () { /usr/bin/rename 's/\d+/sprintf("%05d",$&)/e' -- $@ } Which would change a file "foo-1.txt" to "foo-00001.txt"

Uncompress a CSS file

Ever compress a file for the web by replacing all newline characters with nothing so it makes one nice big blob? It is a great idea, however what about when you want to edit that file? ...Serious pain in the butt. I ran into this today in that my only copy of a CSS file was "compressed" with no newlines. I whipped this up and it converted back into nice human readable CSS :-) It could be nicer, but it does the job.

Create a favicon

Create a favicon suitable for use on your web site. Note: ppmtowinicon is part of libpbm, not ImageMagick.

Swap a file or dir with quick resotre

This lets you replace a file or directory and quickly revert if something goes wrong. For example, the current version of a website's files are in public_html. Put a new version of the site in public_html~ and execute the command. The names are swapped. If anything goes wrong, execute it again (up arrow or !!).

Waste time for about 3 minutes

If you're a slow reader and/or you like to ponder, adjust the sleep time to be longer

Alternative for basename using grep to extract file name

Here's a bash version.
