Notes about using the vim editor, especially useful regular expressions (regex, regexes).

Run an external command on all matching lines

:g/pattern/.!command

It's important that the dot command (.) appear between the search pattern and the bang (!) beginning the external command.

If ntpdate is installed:

sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org

To install ntpdate:

sudo apt-get install ntpdate # for Ubuntu-like

There are times notifications aren't wanted about either a changed repo file or a new file that needs to be added to the repo. However, adding the name of the file to .gitignore might not be a good option, either. For example, locally-generated files that other users aren't likely to generate (e.g., files created by an editor) or files of experimental test code might not be appropriate to appear in a .gitignore file.

In those cases, use one of these solutions:

If the file is a changed repo file

Use the command:

git update-index --assume-unchanged "$FILE"

	-- Place this in ~/Library/Scripts to make it available in the AppleScript menu.
	do shell script ¬
	(POSIX path of ((path to me as text) & "::")) ¬
	& "toggleHiddenFiles.sh"

	r"""Command-line tool to validate and pretty-print JSON

	Usage::

	$ echo '{"json":"obj"}' \| python -m json.tool
	{
	"json": "obj"
	}
	$ echo '{ 1.2:3.4}' \| python -m json.tool
	Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 1 column 3 (char 2)

	#!/bin/sh --

	# Save as "git-exclude" and set the executable flag.
	# Execute as "git exclude repo_path file_path"

	if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
	echo "usage: $(basename $0 \| sed 's/-/ /g') <repo-dir> <file-path>" > /dev/stderr
	exit $(false)
	fi

	#!/bin/bash --

	# File containing the process ID of the application, written by the application
	PID_FILE='app.pid'

	# The process name or some string unique to the application's process
	PROCESS_NAME="java -Dspring.config.location=${HOME}/application.properties"

	[[ $# -gt 0 && $1 = '-v' ]] && VERBOSE=1
