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. opening in a browser will show metadata https://i.jpillora.com/serve If you pass in script=true it will instead return the install script as it would by default through curl. https://i.jpillora.com/serve?script=true Use it to install neovim # [1] All you need to do to generate an install script is to pass in the GitHub repo slug with the org. curl https://i.jpillora.com/neovim/neovim | bash The shell script that it generates for neovim looks like this. #!/bin/bash if [ "$DEBUG" == "1" ]; then set -x fi TMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d -t jpillora-installer-XXXXXXXXXX) function cleanup { rm -rf $TMP_DIR > /dev/null } function fail { cleanup msg=$1 echo "============" echo "Error: $msg" 1>&2 ...

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. The gh release command is a great tool for quickly and easily creating new versions of your Python package. With just a few simpl...

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 What is -e # [1] 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. Solution for Windows # [2] 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” that does this: :check_error if errorlevel 1 ( echo An error occurred! ex...

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. Pull a pane from any other session # [1] 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 "%%"' Push/Pull from scratch # [2] 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. # push the active pane into the scratch session horizonally bind -n M-f join-pane -ht scratch # pull the last active pane from the scratch session horizonally into this session bind -n M-F join-pane -hs scratch References: [1]: #pull-a-pane-from-any-other-session [2]: #pushpull-from-scratch

I am often editing my own scripts as I develop them. I want to make a better workflow for working with scripts like this. Currently # [1] Currently I am combining nvim with a which subshell to etit these files like this. for now lets use my todo command as an example nvim `which todo` First pass # [2] On first pass I made a bash function to do exactly what I have been doing. ewhich () {$EDITOR `which "$1"`} The $1 will pass the first input to the which subshell. Now we can edit our todo script like this. ewich todo Note, I use bash functions instead of aliases for things that require input. Final State # [3] This works fine for commands that are files, but not aliases or shell functions. Next I jumped to looking at the output of command -V $1. - if the command is not found, search for a file - if its a builtin, exit - if its an alias, open my ~/.alias file to that line - if its a function, open my ~/.alias file to that line ewhich () { case `command -V $1` in "$1 not found") FILE=`fzf --prompt "$1 not found searching ..." --query $1` [ -z "$FILE" ] && echo "closing" || $EDITOR $FILE;; *"is a shell builtin"*) echo "$1 is a builtin";; *"is an alias"*) $EDITOR...
