My standard Linux init/config files

to be installed in ~

To copy files to a new machine/account

# next command only needed on HPE network - may need equivalent on other 
# networks that need proxies
export https_proxy=proxy.sdc.hp.com:8080
mkdir ~/repos
cd ~/repos
git clone https://github.com/PaulHaldane/startup.git
cd startup
./install.sh

ssh/git

The ssh setup for github (which I assume is also appropriate for gitlab etc) is based on the answers to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3225862/multiple-github-accounts-ssh-config

This needs a host entry for each repo and an associated ssh key-pair.

For example:

For a Github repo called ansible1.

1. Generate a new ssh key

ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/github_ansible1

2. Add the generated public key as a deploy key for that repo on Github

3. Do this using the web interface under Settings.

4. Add a new stanza to the .ssh/config file

Host github-ansible1
   Hostname        github.com
   User git
   IdentityFile    ~/.ssh/github_ansible1
   IdentitiesOnly	yes

4. Clone the repo using the hostname defined in the new stanza

git clone git@github-ansible1:PaulHaldane/ansible1.git

utils

The bin directory holds some useful utils

qf runs on macos and uses the built-in search index (as used by Finder) to do quick finds. Produces list of matching relative paths on stdout.

qf0 is the same as qf but produces output suitable for feeding to xargs -0 so will handle paths containing white space.

See the mdfind man page for search options.

Examples:

qf searchstring

qf0 searchstring | xargs -0 ls -l

qf0 -name cshtml | xargs -0 grep searchstring

awsAccount returns the AWS account associated with the currently configured AWS CLI credentials.
