Set Branch Alias with Git

28.3.2019
Version control systems can be difficult to use, especially when you don’t use a UI app. Just think about main branch or revision names: svn uses “trunk”, git uses “master”, and mercurial (hg) uses “tip”. I need to switch between mercurial and...

Get File MIME Type from Command Line

Netlify Makes Deployments a Cinch

22.1.2019
(This is a sponsored post.) Let's say you were going to design the easiest way to deploy a static site you can possibly imagine. If I was tasked with that, I'd say, well, it would deploy whenever I push to my master branch, and I'd tell it what command to run to build my site. Or maybe it has...

How to Send an iMessage From Command Line

30.12.2018
As somewhat of a recluse, believe me when I say that text messages, instant messenger, and iMessage have relieved me of loads of anxiety and wasted time with short, meaningless voice chat. It’s been a decade since these communication types have become popular so we’ve moved on from...

Replace Last Command in Shell

26.11.2018
Whether I fat-finger a command or my MacBook Pro keyboard’s keys don’t want to respond like they should, I’m frequently misspelling commands. What’s more frustrating is that many of these commands are long, taking making fixing theme time-consuming. Luckily a Twitter...

Find and Change Default App for File Type from Command Line

23.10.2018
There are few things more frustrating to any computer user than files opening in an unwanted application.

Change System Volume from Command Line on Mac OS

15.10.2018

Search Git Commits Between Dates

12.7.2018
One of my weaknesses as a developer is relying on UIs to provide me the data I need. It’s not a fatal weakness but it does hamper me a bit. One prime example is relying on GitHub’s interface to review changes; git’s command line provides the information needed with commands...
