I think just, might just be the thing I have been looking for. I’ve been looking for some ci/cd that I can host myself, but everything looks pretty big, so for now I am going to use just as my task runner.
I installed with installer.
curl https://i.wayl.one/casey/just | bash
I set up my devtainer builds with just. Here is my justfile, yes you just need the cli and a file named justfile.
Wincent (Greg Hurrel) has a pretty solid and fast zshrc. I recently grabbed his completion section and it seems to be working better than whatever I had.

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.

This is a sick looking bash script generator for installing binaries off of github releases. it reccomends curl into bash, but you could curl into install.sh and toss that in your dotfiles repo or wherever.

Tried out biome today and it worked better than prettier on jinja templates, I might adopt this over prettier.
Busting cache with curl. I’m not sure how much gets cached by curl, but I have ran into several cases where I am looking for new content and I want to ensure the content is new and no chance of being cached.
This article suggests 3 different techniques.
Bat is my favorite pager, its the one for me that seems to just work more than the rest. colors, syntax highlighting, line numbers search, it just feels the most natural.
Use prettier to format all files in a directory. By default prettier does not write, it just echos out the format that it would do. Give it the --write and it will write the changes to the files.
prettier --write .
I just used this on my thoughts repo.
How to center things in textual. Textual has a very unique way of styling text user interfaces for the terminal using css. If you know css it feels natural.

sed can be a tricky beast, I often stumble when trying to pipe into it. Next time I need to use sed, I should reference this article by Nick Janetakis. He makes it looks much easier than my experience has been, and it appears to behave like a vim :%s/ substitution does, or a g/ g command.
1j01 created a complete working clone of ms paint in the terminal using the textual framework. It’s incredible.
Harlequin is a pretty sweet example of what textual can be used to create. Its a terminal based sql ide for DuckDB.
Very inspiring textual project to check out how they set up the ui. Their intro video has a pretty epic dev experience.
wsrepl is an epic websocket repl built in python on the textual framework.
Quickly and easily create new versions of your Python package with the gh release command. Get the version number, changelog, and
Releasing a new version of your Python package can be a daunting task. You need to make sure that all the necessary files are included, and that the version number is correct. But now, with the help of the gh release command, you can make the process much smoother.
The gh release command allows you to quickly and easily create a new version of your Python package. All you need to do is provide the version number, the changelog, and the distribution files. For example, if you wanted to create a new version of your package with the version number v1.2.3, you could use the following command:
gh release create v1.2.3 -F CHANGELOG.md dist/*.whl dist/*.tar.gz
This command will create a new version of your package with the specified version number, and include the changelog and the distribution files. It’s a great way to make sure that all the necessary files are included in the release, and that the version number is correct.

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.
#!/bin/bash -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 example, if you have a script that runs several commands and one of those commands fails, the script will continue running without the -e flag, but will exit immediately if the -e flag is present. This can make it easier to troubleshoot your script and ensure that it runs correctly.
In windows the solution is not quite as simple. You can define a function in a Windows batch script that wraps an if statement to check the exit status of a command and handle any errors that may have occurred. Here is an example of how you might define a function called “check_error”...

Moving panes between tmux sessions is something that makes tmux a very flexible and powerful tool. I don’t need this feature very often, but it comes in clutch when you need it.
Using choose-window I was able to come up with a way to select any pane withing any other session and join it into my current session.
# Choose a pane to join in horizontally bind f choose-window -Z 'join-pane -h -s "%%"'
I’ve long had this one in my tmux config, I always have a “scratch” session that I’m running, I often use for looking at things like k9s accross repos within a popup.
This use case puts a pane into the scratch session, then pulls it back out. I will use this to move a pane between sessions in the rare cases I need to do this.
jq has some syntax that will sneak up on you with complexity. It looks so good, and so understandable, but everytime I go to use it myself, I don’t get it. ijq is an interactive alternative to jq that gives you and nice repl that you can iterate on queries quickly.
