What are some cool terminal commands?

Actually you have to use the -f flag

this doesn't do anything user

I don't remember where I got this but...

# Git upstream branch syncer.
# Usage: gsync master (checks out master, pull upstream, push origin).
function gsync() {
if [[ ! "$1" ]] ; then
echo "You must supply a branch."
return 0
fi

BRANCHES=$(git branch --list $1)
if [ ! "$BRANCHES" ] ; then
echo "Branch $1 does not exist."
return 0
fi

git checkout "$1" && \
git pull upstream "$1" && \
git push origin "$1"
}

Let's try something different : I have read that tail -f let's you watch for file changes. What's some cool shit that you can use it for ?

.. means up one (usually gets used with cd, but can also be used with thinks like ls), !! means repeat, very useful when you forget to put sudo at the start of a command, and can just do sudo !!.

wtf is a "cool terminal command"? that's like asking "what's the coolest tool in a toolbox"? none you humongous retard, each one serves its own purpose

Best way to start an evening boys.

I think that hammers are cooler than screwdrivers.

I use it at work to see if jobs terminate early. Not super exciting.

They're more useless desu

>hammers cooler than screwdrivers
you must be autistic. It's screwdrivers that are interesting, ya dip!

Idk about you, but a Sawzall is pretty awesome tool, my dude.

where 2is the column number.

Is it a good idea to use git pull instead of git fetch upstream and git merge upstream/master? Legit question, I've seen quite a few useless commits made by git pull that trigger my autism.

But what you really should do is:
awk '{ print $2 }' somefile

this really uped my votes, have a gold, stranger

git pull is essentually an alias for git fetch && git merge. You can type the commands one by one if that pleases your autism but there's no need for that. If the merge causes useless commits then you can always get rid of them with rebase.

Felt like a child when I found out about this one a few months ago

To get rid of the useless merge commits, you should do got merge then git rebase. Or git pull --rebase for short.

ty

Oops, I meant git fetch then git rebase. Read about rebasing. There are a lot of articles on whether you should use rebase with git pull or not.

How about this one. If you have multiple logs that you want to monitor in one window,
watch -n 2 'tail -n 5 auth.log boot.log kern.log'
(tail will automatically print filename headers when multiple files provided)

can't you just do that with tail -f instead of watch?

A little but useful one

cd -

Takes you back to the directory you were in previously

Also I've really been getting into using screeninator recently for managing programming environments

you're right, thanks for pointing that out. disregard my earlier post.

>Uboomtu

some of the more leet guys i know use pushd and popd.

i could never get used to it though

I've literally not once used git fetch/merge

just do git pull --rebase then go to whatever other branch you're working on and do git rebase

theb git push to origin/master then pull again

I've always preferred pushd and popd. You know exactly where it's going to take you back to. It also works on Windows, which is a boon for 93% of computer users.

There are other csh users on Jow Forums? Cool.

pushd and popd work in bash too......?

maybe they are a csh thing though, since most of my bash bros never use them. but i have on rare occasion

vhp() {
t=$(echo $1 | fold -w1)
echo $t
echo $t | tr ' ' '\n' | sed 1d
}

>how to waste your time running a script that re-encodes your media with a lossy codec because you run out of disk space from downloading too much trap porn.

You can limit the maximum allowed processes using 'ulimit'. Then you can run a forkbomb and it will not turn your machine down. You need however kill the forkbomb.

I've been doing a lot of long-running computations over SSH and needed to see the I/O from multiple devices/connections *without* access to a proper terminal multiplexer.

>program > output.txt & disown; tail -f output.txt
lets you handle that, and the process being kill if the connection that made the call disconnects.

Just kys rebasionists. A DVCS naturally has branches. Otherwise just don't use it.

Explained:

: is does nothing, always successful, it's abused here as function name, so tu understand what happens better, let's call it "OP".

OP(){ OP|OP & };OP

For better readability:
OP(){
OP | OP &
};
OP

Noe you see the first OP defines a function 'OP() { do something }', the second OP starts the function, the pipe | allows to start OP again at the same time, the & puts both OP function calls into the background, so the functions don't need to wait for each others to finish. The last OP starts the bomb, calling OP for the first time.
This will result in creating two OPs by one OP call, so it duplicates itself by each run 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc and shortly after your system ressources give up holding all these faggot processes.

why not just use -best

you can also see the hello world and the function
is i bet concatenate_string. the language is ruby as you can see def - end. so yeah, world class bullshit

and also the line numbering. up to twenty most of which is empty spaces.

need mp4 and m4a version

sometimes -best gets ogg files instead
