Vim Cheat Sheet

FYI - this is not a general-purpose cheat sheet for vim. I've been using vim/vim for over 35 years.
So, this is more of list of random things in core-vim or various plugin-ins that I've recently started using or am strugging to remember when I need them.

Tags

Use exerberant ctags for best results. (It's not the default ctags program on MacOS.)

g-] Search for the tag under the cursor and select between multiple possible matches.

import java.net.URL;
import java.io.InputStream;

public class httpstest {
    public static void fetchUrl(String urlStr, String msg)
    {
        try {
            System.out.println(msg);
            System.out.println("Opening " + urlStr);
            URL url=new URL(urlStr);

Docker Cheat Sheet

All of these assume you're running as root. If not, preface them with sudo as needed.

List of Dangling Images

docker images --filter 'dangling=true' 

To remove them:

docker images -q --filter 'dangling=true' | xargs docker rmi

Documenting ElasticSearch Java Client

The current API documentation for the ElasticSearch Java Client is woefully inadequate.

First of all, there is no JavaDoc. Luckily I found some at https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.elasticsearch/elasticsearch/2.3.0

The tuorials don't provide any of the import statements, which makes it next to impossible to use.

For example, the TransportClient documentation contains the following code snippet:

Git Cheat Sheet

This isn't intended as an exhaustive reference for git. Rather, it's a collection of operations that I perform so rarely that I always have to look up how to do them.

Fetch Just One Remote Branch

(because I have a weak-ass Internet connection at home)

git fetch --no-tags <remote> <remote-branch-name>:<local-branch-name>

Abandon a Merge

git reset --hard HEAD
