Just a note to self on how to do git rebase (in this case, to get new changes to master into current working branch) without gui…
It’s actually really simple, but for some reason I just keep having to look up some of these… so… finally… note to self…
| Calculations | =X+Y=X+N=Y-XEtc. |
12:45 - 9:55 = 2:50 |
|---|---|---|
| Time to decimal | =X*24 |
2:50 * 24 = 2.83 |
| Decimal to time | =X/24 |
2,83 / 24 = 2:50 |
| Days, hours, minutes | d h:mm |
11 19:20 |
| Total hours and minutes | [h]:mm |
283:20 |
| Total minutes | [m] |
17000 |
Regarding the formatting, without the brackets, it formats as regular time (total hours % 24). So, for example, 2 hours and 50 minutes multiplied by 100; with a regular time format (h:mm) it displays as 19:20; using brackets ([h]:mm) you get the correct 283:20, which is 11 days 19 hours and 20 minutes (hence the 19:20 from h:mm).
There’s a command-line tool called certutil one can use to add (among other things) certificates to the certificate store in windows.
Some examples:
shell:startupSource: winhelponline.com
Logged into a windows share via explorer and hit the Remember Password option. Even though the login was accepted (and saved) it turned out I had used the wrong ad domain name…
Couldn’t find where to reset/change/”logout” again, but eventually found there’s a built-in command-line tool one can use for managing these saved passwords. Think I’ve seen a control panel type thing to do this too in the past, but just couldn’t find it today… Anyways, command-line is nice, so, using imaginary share \\foobar.int, here’s some stuff one can do:
Going through a couple of Udemy courses, and figured it was nice to keep all the code I wrote while doing them in a single github repository.
Was working nicely until I started the Node with React where part of the course is to deploy the app to Heroku which wants a full repository pushed to a certain git repo it creates for deployment. But in my case the app I want to deploy is of course a sub-directory…
Turns out there’s a git command called subtree one can use here:
The subtree command needs to be run from the top-level directory of the git repository, but one can add a script command to the apps package.json, for example like this:
Unfortunately, subtree push doesn’t support --force, but a workaround for that is running it nested like this:
Which unfortunately doesn’t work on Windows… but you can do it in two steps instead:
I’m sorry, but I just hate when Git is messing with my files…
warning: CRLF will be replaced by LF in some/file.ext.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
That’s just not its job! If I want to enforce a certain new line regime, there’s linting tools, pre-commit hooks, etc.
The following should stop it, but frankly, sometimes it feels like git just keeps inventing new ways of reverting to its hyper annoying default…
