Terminal Tips

These are for bash shells, and may be Mac-specific also, and would go in .bash_profile or .bash_login or as marked specifically below:

1. Always open new terminal windows in the location of the last directory that you cd'd to (source: ):


pathed_cd () {
if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
cd
else
cd "$1"
fi
pwd > ~/.cdpath
}
alias cd="pathed_cd"

if [ -f ~/.cdpath ]; then
cd $(cat ~/.cdpath)
fi



2. Erase duplicate entries from command history (source: ):


export HISTCONTROL=erasedups
shopt -s histappend



3. Allow partial matching of previous history instead of scrolling back through full history (note this one goes in .inputrc, source: ):


  1. do not make noise
set bell-style none

  1. By default up/down are bound to previous-history
  2. and next-history respectively. The following does the
  3. same but gives the extra functionality where if you
  4. type any text (or more accurately, if there is any text
  5. between the start of the line and the cursor),
  6. the subset of the history starting with that text
  7. is searched (like 4dos for e.g.).
  8. Note to get rid of a line just Ctrl-C
"e[B": history-search-forward
"e[A": history-search-backward

$if Bash
# F10 toggles mc on and off
# Note Ctrl-o toggles panes on and off in mc
"e[21~": "mcC-M"

#do history expansion when space entered
Space: magic-space
$endif

  1. Include system wide settings which are ignored
  2. by default if one has their own .inputrc
$include /etc/inputrc




4. Add status indicator for local changes to git or svn versioned directories (source: ):



  1. Prompt setup, with SCM status
parse_git_branch() {
    local DIRTY STATUS
    STATUS=$(git status 2>/dev/null)
    [ $? -eq 1 ] || return
    [[ "$STATUS" == *'working directory clean'* ]] || DIRTY=' *'
    echo "($(git branch 2>/dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* //')$DIRTY)"
}

parse_svn_revision() {
    local DIRTY REV=$(svn info 2>/dev/null | grep Revision | sed -e 's/Revision: //')
    [ "$REV" ] || return
    [ "$(svn st)" ] && DIRTY=' *'
    echo "(r$REV$DIRTY)"
}

PS1='u@h:W$(parse_git_branch)$(parse_svn_revision) $ '



5. Misc aliases.



  1. various ls aliases
alias ll="ls -lp"
alias la="ls -ap"
alias lla="ls -lap"

  1. shorthand to search history, "h blah"
alias h="history | grep "

  1. open current directory in finder
alias o='open .'

  1. add all new files, which aren't ignored, to svn repo
alias san='svn status | grep "^?" | awk "{print $2}" | xargs svn add'

I hate spammers.

This is crap that gets submitted as sources for Buffalo Feed every day.

Presented as an image so not as to help them out.

I know, spam is nothing new, but this is why we can't have nice things :(

Pomodoro Technique

image

I love this, have been using it for a couple months to pace myself, even out the manic over-doing it bursts and the can't-seem-to-get-started lows.

Pomodoro Technique Site



The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that can be used for any kind of task. For many people, time is an enemy. The anxiety triggered by "the ticking clock", especially when a deadline is involved, leads to ineffective work and study habits which in turn lead to procrastination.

What do you need to start?

- A kitchen timer
- A sheet of paper

The basic unit of work in the Pomodoro Technique can be split in five simple steps:

- Choose a task to be accomplished
- Set the Pomodoro to 25 minutes (the Pomodoro is the timer)
- Work on the task until the Pomodoro rings, then put a check on your sheet of paper
- Take a short break (5 minutes is OK)
- Every 4 Pomodoros take a longer break
