bin

A collection of scripts I use to make my command line existence easier.

⚠️ Warning: ️⚠️ These are just some dirty, hacky scripts I wrote for myself with no intention for them to be ever used by anyone else. There is no quality behind any of these – neither in code style nor in functionality. I just put them on GitHub as inspiration for others. I don't guarantee any stability or anything here.
Use at your own risk!

---

confirm

Prefix any risky command with confirm and it'll ask you before it's executed.

$ confirm echo hello
Really do ⇛ echo hello ⇚ ? y
hello

search

Combines find and grep into one command.

$ search git .
Seaching '.' for 'git' (case-insensitive)...

File names
==========
./git-new   
./gitpull

File contents
=============
./README.md

highlight

Highlights a word in stuff you pipe into it.

Essentially does COMMAND | egrep --color=always "${YOUR_SEARCH}|$".

$ ls -l | highlight audio
-rwxr-xr-x  user  group  Jan 1 00:00 package
-rwxr-xr-x  user  group  Jan 1 00:00 restart-coreaudiod
-rwxr-xr-x  user  group  Jan 1 00:00 search

Note the bold audio there. In the CLI the output is actually colored, but Markdown has no colors.

httpserve

Serves the current directory (using pythons http.server module) on localhost:8080, and opens your default browser.

$ httpserve 
Serving /your/current/dir
Serving HTTP on 127.0.0.1 port 8080 (http://127.0.0.1:8080/) ...

man

Moved to this repo: man_sections.

package

Tries to consolidate package manager functions into one.

Not very elaborate, yet. Only supports so far:

• package outdated runs:
  • brew outdated
  • gem outdated
  • pip3 list --outdated
• package update runs:
  • brew update && brew upgrade
  • sudo gem update
  • pip3 install --upgrade <PACKAGE_NAME>

Git stuff

git last

Shows the last 5 branches you used! Super useful!

Number can be specified.

$ git last 3
refs/heads/master
refs/heads/feature/consistency
refs/heads/readme

git new

A wrapper for git checkout -b.

Creates a new branch, but always first updates the base branch. Base branch can be specified (default develop).

$ git new feature/more_tests my_custom_base
Really do ⇛ git checkout my_custom_base ⇚ ? y
Switched to branch 'my_custom_base'
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/my_custom_base'.

Really do ⇛ git pull origin my_custom_base ⇚ ? y
From github.com:0bmxa/sample_repo
 * branch            my_custom_base     -> FETCH_HEAD
Already up to date.

Really do ⇛ git checkout -b feature/more_tests ⇚ ? y
Switched to a new branch 'feature/more_tests'

git refresh

A wrapper for git rebase.

Updates the base branch (default: develop) and rebases onto it. Also asks for stash if there are uncommitted changes.

Usage: git refresh [my_base_branch]

git finalize

Finalizes a feature branch, by running:

1. git refresh
2. An interactive rebase against your base branch
3. A --force push to your branch
4. Creating a PR (using hub)

git yolo

Adds everything (git add -A), commits with a message from whatthecommit.com, and pushes (no force) to origin. All without asking.

Why? I find it useful for trying out things on CI, where your commit is essentially your build trigger, and I'm anyways cleaning up my commit history before makign a PR.

Yes, curling a commit message can be risky.

gitpull (yes, no space)

Simply runs confirm git pull origin BRANCHNAME, where BRANCHNAME is determinded by git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD. (confirm see above.)

$ gitpull
Really do ⇛ git pull origin master ⇚ ?

gitpush (yes, no space)

A wrapper around git push, which (reminds you to) and offers to rebase before pushing.

$ gitpush
Did you rebase against develop ? n
Really do ⇛ git refresh ⇚ ?

$ gitpush my_base_branch
Did you rebase against my_base_branch ? y
Really do ⇛ git push -u origin feature/more_tests ⇚ ?
