ncdu / ncurses interface to list big directories

ncdu is a little neat program that first scans all the subdirectories of the current one and returns a nice visual navigable list.

d to delete selected folder, ? for help.

zip recursively excluding folder or some files

zip -r result-small.zip ./ -x 'unscoped/*'

-x is a regex of files to exclude. ¹

Diff two folders

diff -rq folder1 folder2 diffs contents of files inside the two folders.

Daff diff epsilon

daff diff can accept a -d parameter giving an epsilon, changes of numbers smaller than eps won’t be shown in the diff!

screen

screen -r seems to accept not just the full name of the screen to attach, but even just the first letters!

:set foldignore=#<CR>

jq sorting

maven version ranges

(Also used in input of some other internal tools) They are: ¹

Range	Meaning
1.0	x >= 1.0 * The default Maven meaning for 1.0 is everything (,) but with 1.0 recommended. Obviously this doesn't work for enforcing versions here, so it has been redefined as a minimum version.
(,1.0]	x <= 1.0
(,1.0)	x < 1.0
[1.0]	x == 1.0
[1.0,)	x >= 1.0
(1.0,)	x > 1.0
(1.0,2.0)	1.0 < x < 2.0
[1.0,2.0]	1.0 <= x <= 2.0
(,1.0],[1.2,)	x <= 1.0 or x >= 1.2. Multiple sets are comma-separated
(,1.1),(1.1,)	x != 1.1

Zsh prompt change based on dev/prod

The script that sets dev/prod sets a variable to 1 if using dev. Based on that variable I get (or not) a red (B) in my zsh prompt.

Did these changes to the theme clean2.zsh-theme:

PROMPT='%{$fg[green]%}(%*/%!)$ZSH_USING_DEV%{$fg[$NCOLOR]%}%B%b%{$reset_color%}%{$fg[blue]%}%B%5c/%b%{$reset_color%} $(git_prompt_info)%(!.#.$) '

ZSH_USING_DEV=""
if [ "$USING_DEV" = "1" ] 
	then
		ZSH_USING_DEV="%{$fg_bold[red]%}[B]%{$fg[$NCOLOR]%}"
	fi

and in ~/.zsrhc

alias uc='. ~/s/setenv.sh p'
alias ud='. ~/s/setenv.sh d'

zsh prompt export variables from a script

Using the usual ./ way doesn’t work!

Note the . ~/s.. in the script above. Running it as ~/what.sh will create a new shell, export the new values there, and close it. Starting with a . will make it run the script without starting a new shell. ¹

Confluence tabs + publishing

“Publish without notifying watchers” exits.

If I paste something from vim that has tabs in it in a Code block, in the Edit window it will look fine, but won’t at the end. Editing again will make it again look fine in the edit window. Moral: use spaces.

vim tabs

If you copypaste things from it to code blocks in jira/confluence it will start being weird. You can do expandtabs/retab to convert it to something that looks just like this with spaces when saved. Though feels suboptimal.
