Git Explorer: a cool tool to visually learn git commands

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/03/03

This is sooooo cool: [Wayback] Git Explorer

GitExplorer: Find the right git commands you need without digging through the web

What I like is the simple clean UI with a two step selection of what git functionality you want to use followed by a simple usage and explanation.

Very well suites for both referencing and interactive learning.

Bonus: it is open source at [Wayback/Archive.is] summitech/gitexplorer: Find the right git commands without digging through the web..

Chocolatey: installing Oracle SQL Developer and updating the chocolatey package

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/05/13

Sometimes an install is not just as simple as C:\>choco install --yes oracle-sql-developer.

Edit 20210514:

Note that most of the below pain will be moot in the future as per [Archive.is] Jeff Smith 🍻 on Twitter: “we’re working on removing the SSO requirement, it’s already done for @oraclesqlcl – see here … “ referring to [Wayback] SQLcl now under the Oracle Free Use Terms and Conditions license | Oracle Database Insider Blog

SQLcl, the modern command-line interface for the Oracle Database, can now be downloaded directly from the web without any click-through license agreement.

It means the Oracle acount restriction will be lifted, and downloads will be a lot simpler.

I started with the below failing command, tried a lot of things, then finally almost gave up: Oracle stuff does not want to be automated, which means I should try to less of their stuff.

First of all you need an Oracle account (I dislike companies doing that for free product installs; I’m looking at Embarcadero too) by going to profile.oracle.com:

[WayBack] Chocolatey Gallery | Oracle SQL Developer 18.4.0 (also: gist.github.com/search?l=XML&q=oracle-sql-developer)

Notes

  • This version supports both 32bit and 64bit and subsequently does not have a JDK bundled with it. It has a
    dependency on the jdk8 package to meet the application’s JDK requirement.
  • An Oracle account is required to download this package. See the “Package Parameters” section below for
    details on how to provide your Oracle credentials to the installer. If you don’t have an existing account, you can
    create one for free here: https://profile.oracle.com/myprofile/account/create-account.jspx

Package Parameters

The following package parameters are required:

* /Username: – Oracle username
* /Password: – Oracle password

(e.g. choco install oracle-sql-developer --params "'/Username:MyUsername /Password:MyPassword'")

To have choco remember parameters on upgrade, be sure to set choco feature enable -n=useRememberedArgumentsForUpgrades.

Then the installation failed fail again: ERROR: The response content cannot be parsed because the Internet Explorer engine is not available, or Internet Explorer's first-launch configuration is not complete. Specify the UseBasicParsing parameter and try again.

The trick is to RUN IEXPLORE.EXE AS ADMINISTRATOR ONCE BEFORE INSTALLING FROM CHOCOLATEY. Who would believe that.

The reason is that the package uses Invoke-WebRequest which requires Internet Explorer and PowerShell 3. Chocolatey packages however need to be able to run on just PowerShell 2 without Invoke-WebRequest.

Maybe using cURL can remedy that; adding a dependency to is is possible, as cURL can be installed via chocolatey: [WayBack] How to Install cURL on Windows – I Don’t Know, Read The Manual. Another alternative might be [WayBack] Replace Invoke-RestMethod in PowerShell 2.0 to use [WayBack] WebRequest Class (System.Net) | Microsoft Docs.

How to Convert a Mercurial Repository to Git on Windows

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/03/30

For my link archive: [WayBack] How to Convert a Mercurial Repository to Git on Windows.

Let’s see how this maps to MacOS or Linux…

It is based on hg-git:

Other solutions are based on  [WayBack]fast-export or [WayBack] gitifyhg.

If I am going to do this beyond a one-off conversion, I need to figure out their differences.

Applying .patch File From Git – Easyread – Medium

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/03/10

Next time I need to apply a patch file directly from git itself, I need to re-read [WayBack] Applying .patch File From Git – Easyread – Medium.

Without git, just run the patch command as per [WayBack] What is a patch in git version control? – Stack Overflow

showthedocs

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/02/18

[WayBack] showthedocs

is a documentation browser that finds the relevant docs for your code. It works by parsing the code and connecting parts of it to their explanation in the docs

, and supports these languages:

  • SQL
    • postgresql
    • mysql
  • Configuration
    • nginx
    • gitconfig

You can enter any language text, then click the language, followed by clicking the “SHOW ME THE DOCS!” button, for which an example is further below.

The site has an open architecture, allowing to plug in more languages and documentation:

 

gitconfig example

So for instance the below ./git/config file leads to this result [WayBack] where you can click on all the coloured areas for easy navigation through the documentation:

A choco install list

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/02/03

Sometimes I forget the choco install mnemonics for various tools, so here is a small list below.

Of course you have to start with an administrative command prompt, and have a basic Chocolatey Installation in place.

If you want to clean cruft:

choco install --yes choco-cleaner

Basic install:

choco install --yes 7zip
choco install --yes everything
choco install --yes notepadplusplus
choco install --yes beyondcompare
choco install --yes git.install --params "/GitAndUnixToolsOnPath /NoGitLfs /SChannel /NoAutoCrlf /WindowsTerminal"
choco install --yes hg
choco install --yes sourcetree
choco install --yes sysinternals

For VMs (pic one):

choco install --yes vmware-tools
choco install --yes virtio-drivers

For browsing (not sure yet about Chrome as that one has a non-admin installer as well):

choco install --yes firefox

For file transfer (though be aware that some versions of Filezilla contained adware):

choco install --yes filezilla
choco install --yes winscp

For coding:

choco install --yes vscode
choco install --yes atom

For SQL server:

choco install --yes sql-server-management-studio

For web development / power user:

choco install --yes fiddler

For SOAP and REST:

choco install --yes soapui

If you don’t like manually downloading SequoiaView at gist.github.com/jpluimers/b0df9c2dba49010454ca6df406bc5f3d (e8efd031d667de8a1808d6ea73548d77949e7864.zip):

choco install --yes windirstat

For drawing, image manipulation (paint.net last, as it needs a UI action):

choco install --yes gimp
choco install --yes imagemagick
choco install --yes paint.net

For ISO image mounting in pre Windows 10:

choco install --yes wincdemu

For hard disk management:

choco install --yes hdtune
choco install --yes seatools
choco install --yes speedfan

Syncing your fork to the original repository via the browser · KirstieJane/STEMMRoleModels Wiki · GitHub

[WayBack] Syncing your fork to the original repository via the browser · KirstieJane/STEMMRoleModels Wiki · GitHub

TL;DR: you can do the sync from the Web UI, but it always gives you an extra merge commit.
