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…
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:
In Unix you have the touch command which you can use to update a files timestamp. No such thing in Windows. But instead, apparently, one can do this:
If you need it more than seldom there are also some more tricks in the StackOverflow sources below.

Windows equivalent of the Linux command ‘touch’?
Equivalent of Linux `touch` to create an empty file with PowerShell?
Just a note to self. Useful for trimming away useless information from a log file for example.
In the pattern, things like capturing groups and alternations needs to be escaped with a slash, \. If you have RegexBuddy you can use the GNU BRE flavor to help you construct the pattern.

In a Unix Bash shell we can scroll through previous commands by using the up and down arrow keys, but we can also search for previous commands. I keep forgetting how, so time to write it down 😛
| Ctrl+r | Start a command search |
|---|---|
| ⎠| Run the command directly |
| Ctrl+e or Ctrl+a | Exit search and jump to the end or beginning of command. |
| ↠or → | Exit search and move through command as usual |
| Ctrl+k | Remove everything after the current cursor position and to the end of the command |
Tried to make a helpful batch script for something at work and learned some new things I thought I’d write down here so I know where to find it later.
Should be known by everyone really, but in case you don’t. Prevents the commands in the batch script and the command prompt to show up while the script is running. Beginning a line with @ does this for a single command.
Trivial, but I keep forgetting about this since I never use it in other programming.
If you don’t use the call command, the other script will actually take over and your script will end.
