Bash scripts that I use on multiple environments. You may find some of them useful!
Clone the repository:
git clone git@github.com:shane-smith/scripts.git scripts
Then add the scripts directory to your path, by adding something like the following to your .bashrc or .bash_profile:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/scripts/bin
The above line assumes that you checked out this repository into your home directory.
Feel free to fork and add your own scripts, then submit a pull request!
See CONTRIBUTING.md for further details.
This script was designed to match the preferred commit comment format for my workplace. We use a project management tool with the initials "LP", which has 8-digit task IDs. The preferred commit comment format is as follows:
lp #22446688 - Comment goes here
Our feature branches are labelled with 'lp' and the task ID: e.g. lp22446688
With that in mind, the bash script is designed to enforce this structure, and also make it extremely easy to commit from the terminal. All I need to run is commit Adding stuff and it'll automatically commit in the format that I want.
In addition, it should be noted that we use the Gitflow model. Therefore, in most cases I do not want to commit directly to the 'master' or 'develop' branches - instead, I want to commit to a feature or hotfix branch, and then merge those branches into the two core branches. Due to this, the script has in-built protection to prevent accidental committing to those branches.
If you have not pushed to the remote repository, and the most recent commit in your Git history was a simple one (i.e. not a merge), you will likely find this shortcut helpful.
Essentially, it just reverts back to your second-to-last commit, removing the most recent one from the log and returning your files back to you with the edits in place.
I often use this command in lieu of a git commit --amend.
I love running git log -n 10 --oneline so much, that I wrote an alias for it: logs. This alias has been converted into a dedicated script, so that I could add it to this repository as a separate file.
Feel free to make improvements to this if you wish! It would be a good beginner task, for anyone hoping to make a small contribution.
Some of the database scripts are designed to work with a mysql alias (e.g. alias mysql='mysql -uroot -p'), so you will not see any references to the username or password prompts in these helpers, and will instead see a reference to the mysql alias instead.
Room for improvement:
- Most of these scripts do not do any error checking (i.e. does the database exist?). They could be expanded to do this in the future.
- The
dbexportanddbimportscripts could be updated to optionally save to a gzipped file rather than as uncompressed SQL.
Parameters:
- Database name
Creates a database with the specified name.
Parameters:
- Database name
- Filename
Uses mysqldump to generate a SQL file with the structure and data of the given database. Saves it to a file with the provided filename.
Parameters:
- Database name
- Filename
Restores the output of the dbexport script into a database with the specified name. This can be used in conjunction with dbexport to dump a copy of one database, and create another with the same content, effectively duplicating it.
This is a simple wrapper around the find command, which searches in a specific directory.
We use Jasper reports at work, which are written as .jrxml files and compile down to .jasper files. Generally, I use this command to search for a .jrxml file with a specific filename, because it's usually nested within one of many sub-directories. I'd rather not have to guess and jump from one directory to another to find the one I want.
And quite often... we have multiple with the same file name - the base report, and then a customised version that specific customers are using. This script will pull up all instances, and it makes it easy to find the one I'm looking for.
I've added the super-simple .screenrc file that I use on almost all environments that I connect to.
It's only a few lines - but it adds visible labels for each of the windows that you have open, making it super-easy to navigate between them and see which one you have active at a glance.
