unset multiple environment variables
You can unset multiple environment variables at once. I did not know this was a thing, its something that ended up happening organically on a call and asking someone to run . They had never done it before and did not know how it works, but did exactly as I said instead of what I meant. I like this handy shortcut doing it in one line rather than each one individually, I will be using this in the future. You might need this for something like [[running-aws-cli-commands-with-localstack]].

cli auth
Authentication from cli tools can be a bit of a bear, and I have to look it up every time. This is my reference guide for future me to remember how to easily do it. I set up a fastapi server running on port 8000, it uses a basic auth with as the username and as the password. The server follows along with what comes out of the docs.

jpillora-installer
jpillora/installer is the install script generator I have been looking for. It downloads binaries for your machine from GitHub releases and unzips them for you. It grabs the latest release, so you can easily update them. I have tried scripting these installs in the past and struggled to consistently get the latest version for every package and unpack it correctly. Also these pre-compiled binaries install rediculously fast compared to building them from source. Check out some example links. openi

dash e your github docker actions
Give github actions the -e flag in the shebang so they fail on any one command failure. Otherwise each line will set the exit status, but only the last one will be passed to ci. What is -e The -e flag to the bash command allows your script to exit immediately if any command within the script returns a non-zero exit status. This can be useful for ensuring that your script exits with an error if any of the commands it runs fail, which can help you identify and debug issues in your script. For ex

Code Review from the comfort of vim | Diffurcate
I often review Pull requests from the browser as it just makes it so easy to see the diffs and navigate through them, but there comes a time when the diffs get really big and hard to follow. That's when its time to bring in the comforts of vim. https://youtu.be/5NKaZFavM0E Plugins needed This all stems from the great plugin by AndrewRadev . It breaks a down into a project. So rather than poping into a pager from git diff, you can pipe to diffurcate and it will setup a project in a tmp directo

Creating Reusable Bash Scripts

I have three techniques that help me write more composable bash scripts. functions Arguments positional arguments All Arguments Error Handling main script Functions Break scripts down into reusable components Functio

miniconda is a python distribution from continuum. It's a slimmed-down version of their very popular anaconda distribution. It comes with its own environment manager and has eased the install process for many that do not have a way to compile c-extensions. It made it much easier to install the data science stack on windows a few years ago. These days windows are much better than it was back then at compiling c-extensions. I still like its environment manager, which installs to a global directory

Supercharge Zsh Startup
I have been using oh-my-zsh successfully for about 2 years now. But lately my startup time has been really bothersome. It has grown to the point where it was taking about 5.5s to startup a shell!

But to only jump in to run a handful of commands is infuriating. 📑 My Setup I believe the real issue is io speed on wsl. I hav
