Instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

These are only examples, for a few very common actions. You are expected to write your own rules for the rest. The syntax is regular JavaScript, but see the polkit(8) manpage for the object structure and available API. These examples are for polkit versions 106 and later, with the JS interpreter. They won't work with Debian's polkit v105.

  • If you don't know the action name, either run pkaction and look for anything similar:

    pkaction | grep cups
    

    ...or try to perform the actual action, cancel it, then look in your system logs:

    journalctl -t polkitd -n 10 | grep action

List first level directories inside a directory, sorted by size. Useful when your disk is full and you are searching something to erase or move elsewhere.
du -k -d1 * | sort -nr | cut -f2 | xargs -d '\n' du -sh

Search Git commit history for a string and see the diffs

Searching Git commit history

This should be one of the core features of Git, but for some reason it's impossible to figure out how to search for a string in your commit history and see the diffs that that string is in. Here's the best I've come up with:

To find which commits and which files a string was added or removed in:

git log -S'search string' --oneline --name-status

To see the diff of that

My DefaultKeyBinding.dict for Mac OS X
/* ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.Dict
This file remaps the key bindings of a single user on Mac OS X 10.5 to more
closely match default behavior on Windows systems. This makes the Command key
behave like Windows Control key. To use Control instead of Command, either swap
Control and Command in Apple->System Preferences->Keyboard->Modifier Keys...
or replace @ with ^ in this file.
Here is a rough cheatsheet for syntax.

Adb useful commands list
Hi All!
I've recently launched a tool that wraps many of the commands here with a user interface. This desktop application is currently available for macOS. There's a roadmap outlining planned features for the near future.
Feel free to request any features you'd like to see, and I'll prioritize them accordingly.
One of the most important aspects of this application is that every command executed behind the scenes is displayed in a special log section. This allows you to see exactly what’s happening and learn from it.
Here's the link to the repository: https://github.com/Pulimet/ADBugger
App Description:
ADBugger is a desktop tool designed for debugging and QA of Android devices and emulators. It simplifies testing, debugging, and performance analysis by offering device management, automated testing, log analysis, and remote control capabilities. This ensures smooth app performance across various setups.

Deletes all dangling commits, objects and blobs
# empty the stash
$ git stash clear
# objects can also be reached through the reflog.
# while branches record the history of some project, reflogs record the history of these branches.
# if you amend, reset etc. commits are removed from the branch history
# but git keeps them around in case you realize that you made a mistake.
# reflogs are a convenient way to find out what destructive (and other) operations were performed
# on a branch (or HEAD), making it easier to undo a destructive operation.
