Really Kill Rails (as well as Restart)

justinwr (Justin R) — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 04:11:20 GMT

More lovely alias commands... this time to kill/restart Rail's script/server from any Terminal session or login on your box... (as long as your the same user).



alias dierails='ps -a|grep "/usr/local/bin/ruby script/server"|grep -v "grep /usr"|cut -d " " -f1|xargs -n 1 kill -KILL $1'

alias resetrails='ps -a|grep "/usr/local/bin/ruby script/server"|grep -v "grep /usr"|cut -d " " -f1|xargs -n 1 kill -HUP $1'

Alias to a Nice Default Gitk

justinwr (Justin R) — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 04:44:18 GMT

Just a really quick and easy shell alias for my preferred defaults for Git's repository and branch viewer, Gitk.

This runs "gitk"...
...including all branches,
...outputting errors to the black hole,
...and any extra command-line arguments.



# Run like this

# gitk --since="2 days ago" &



alias gitk="gitk --all $1 2>/dev/null"

Recursively Remove .DS_Store files in OS X

justinwr (Justin R) — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 03:07:29 GMT

This shell alias will recursively remove all .DS_Store files from the current directory up.



alias rmdsstores='find ./ -type f | grep .DS_Store | xargs rm'

Git-diff last two commits through TextMate

justinwr (Justin R) — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 04:52:30 GMT

I believe this is how svn diff operates... but anyway, this alias will allow you to diff the last two commits in Git through TextMate. If you have a theme that supports Diff's then you'll see the differences clearly. Remove the last pipe statement (the mate part) to expose your diff in the console.



alias gitdiff='git log|grep commit|cut -d " " -f2|head -n 2|xargs -n 2 git diff -R|mate'
