# The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit.
# If the tag points to the commit, then only the tag is shown.
# Otherwise, it suffixes the tag name with the number of additional commits on top of the tagged object 
# and the abbreviated object name of the most recent commit.
git describe

# With --abbrev set to 0, the command can be used to find the closest tagname without any suffix:
git describe --abbrev=0

• Vimcasts on vimgrep

• Uses native vim regexes (which are slightly different from the regexes used by grep, ack, ag, etc) so the patterns are the same as with vim's within-file search patterns.

Mounting VirtualBox shared folders on Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)

This guide will walk you through the steps on how to setup a VirtualBox shared folder inside your Ubuntu Server guest.

Prerequisites

This guide assumes that you are using the following setup:

• Oracle VM VirtualBox version 6.0.10 with Extension Pack installed
• Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 as the host OS
• A fresh install of Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS as the guest OS

You could still make this guide work with other setups (possibly with some modifications to the commands and whatnot).
