If you’re trying to delete a very large number of files at one time (I deleted a directory with 485,000+ today), you will probably run into this error:

/bin/rm: Argument list too long.

The problem is that when you type something like “rm -rf ”, the “” is replaced with a list of every matching file, like “rm -rf file1 file2 file3 file4” and so on. There is a reletively small buffer of memory allocated to storing this list of arguments and if it is filled up, the shell will not execute the program. To get around this problem, a lot of people will use the find command to find every file and pass them one-by-one to the “rm” command like this:

find . -type f -exec rm -v {} \;

My problem is that I needed to delete 500,000 files and it was taking way too long.

Configure Git to use a proxy

In Brief

You may need to configure a proxy server if you're having trouble cloning or fetching from a remote repository or getting an error like unable to access '...' Couldn't resolve host '...'.

Consider something like:

// export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
// export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...

$streamName = '<INSERT_YOUR_STREAMNAME_HERE>';
$numberOfRecordsPerBatch = 10000;
