Virtual Serial Ports

We can use socat to create 2 virtual serial ports that are connected to each other locally. This can be useful for debugging serial port applications. Or simulating serial port communication. Or running 2 legacy programs that only communicate with each other over serial ports, such as old DOS games. And of course, for education, since serial communication is probably the most simple communication protocol there is, RS232 is considered at the bottom of the OSI stack, at the "Physical Layer".

# Sometimes you need to move your existing git repository
# to a new remote repository (/new remote origin).
# Here are a simple and quick steps that does exactly this.
#
# Let's assume we call "old repo" the repository you wish
# to move, and "new repo" the one you wish to move to.
#
### Step 1. Make sure you have a local copy of all "old repo"
### branches and tags.

To change a git submodule's remote (in this case, from HTTPS to SSH):

SUB=my-submodule-name
[email protected]:path/to/remote.git

git submodule deinit $SUB
git rm $SUB
git commit -m "removed $SUB submodule at https remote"

rm -rf .git/modules/$SUB

        exit 1

MODULE_NAME=$1
MODULE_NAME_FOR_SED=$(echo $MODULE_NAME | sed -e 's/\//\\\//g')
