Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.

Method 1

Backup the public and secret keyrings and trust database

cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

or, instead of backing up trustdb...

Add the following lines to package.json

"preferGlobal": "true",
  "bin": {
    "commandname" : "path/to/command"
  }

Add the following line to the main script:

I recently added 2 factor authentication to my GitHub account (and you should too!). However, when I went back to the command line, I could not longer log-in to my account! After doing some searching, it turns out that, with 2FA turned on, you no longer use your password on the command line. Instead, you need to use a personal oauth token. Generating one is super easy, but I wish I had figured this out before hand to save myself the headache of anxiously Googling!

Here are the steps to creating your personal access token:

Log into GitHub and access your account settings
Select the “Applications” tab on the left-hand navigation
Under “Personal Access Tokens” click “create new”
Enter a description for your token (so you can keep track and revoke them individually later, should you have a security breach)
Copy the token (40 characters long) and use that as your password on the command line.

We’re now going to clean up disk space on the VM so when we package it into a new Vagrant box, it’s as clean as possible. First, remove APT cache

$ sudo apt-get clean

Then, “zero out” the drive (this is for Ubuntu):

$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/EMPTY bs=1M

If you're using GNU make and you need help debugging a makefile then there's a single line your should add. And it's so useful that you should add it to every makefile you create.

It's:

print-%: ; @echo $=$($) It allows you to quickly get the value of any makefile variable. For example, suppose you want to know the value of a variable called SOURCE_FILES. You'd just type:

make print-SOURCE_FILES If you are using GNU make 3.82 or above it's not even necessary to modify the makefile itself. Just do
