When you started the video, it seemed like I am watching some noob tutorial, but in the last I became noob, 😂 you earned a subscriber, the knowledge you shared here is awesome, I will surely watch your bash scripting videos and other interesting linux related videos
Nice survey. I have to make a plug for AWK. Anyone who has to process any type of structured/semi-structured data files would be well advised to learn AWK. A few hours spent reading _Effective AWK Programming_ will allow easy processing of almost any data task required.
Well it’s all cool and dandy, but I doubt it’s gonna stick. And definitely such brief explanation is not enough for stuff like awk, or even grep, which is less hard. Making a script and expect people do understand it as they watch your video is pretty generous. Or absurd, rather.
The xargs command section was really good! Something as simple as aliasing 'logs' to open a fzf with all your docker containers and choose one to check the logs for is just so useful
#This command will search for the a floder and cd into it ff() { local dir dir=$(find * -type d 2>/dev/null | fzf +m) && cd "$dir" || return } # This command will search for the a file and cd into the location of the file fcd() { local target_file target_file=$(fd --type f --hidden --follow --exclude .git | fzf +m) && cd "$(dirname "$target_file")" || return } i made the and i cant without them now i dont known if they are other ways out there but idc YOU CAN ADD THEM TO YOUR .zshrc file
hi, I really like how customizable these are. my question: these are typically embedded code on a website, right? Is there an option to export any of these charts as a non-interactive png and use them for some simple graphical social media projects? I'm a marketing generalist and would rather learn this than pay $500 monthly for a subscription.
Yeah you can definitely export them as a png. Depending on which library you go with, there may be a built in function for exporting the image. If you’re only ever going to generate images and don’t need the web page you can also checkout some python libraries like Seaborn that will directly generate the images.
years back i've built a simple custom dotfiles manager myself in ruby using erb templates and ansible playbook. don't have to maintain that anymore, this is a perfect find for me!
Have you tried using this for UI config too, for example for GNOME or KDE settings, VS Code settings, etc? I've done something similar for regular dotfiles (like shell config) but I want to keep UI config in sync too.
The only challenge I’ve run into is that some UI tools don’t have a great file/cli based config interface. Like with GNOME you’ll probably end up using dconf to dump the current config values and then use dconf load as part of the dot files automation to keep those changes in sync. But other UI tools will just use a config file you can edit, so those are easier to jump in the repo.
I got lost in the weeds pretty quickly, this is over my head. I should look for a longer video with a deeper explanation of each step. Thanks anyway. By the comments it looks like some were able to get it fairly quickly. I'm afraid that I am not one of those people. The search continues........
I’m sorry to hear that. Was there any part in particular that was causing trouble or was it just moving too fast in general? FYI I’m working on a site right now that will be a companion to my videos that’ll have exercises and such to help aid in the learning process, so once it is up and ready it’ll hopefully help.
I'm curious as to how you use videos like this? Personally, I massively benefited from it by actively trying and exploring each of the points raised. It took me well over an hour to get to 7 minutes. Even the opening use of env taught me tons because I stopped and ran env as a command, studied its output, discovered there was env at /bin and usr/bin, compared the output of env to the which bash command. I explored everything that way, making notes and creating working examples that illustrated variations of usage. This one hour video is a ten hour course that is worth 10 years of bumbling along (as I have spent the last decade doing). I agree the presentation has to engage and not grate your personal style preferences (in which regard it was a perfect fit for me) but style alone will not make you learn, exploration and discovery is the key to that, preferably with a pro guide like this fellow.
I’m glad you like it, I did spend some time trying to find the right tunes. And I’ve looked into it but I’ve been lazy about getting some samples. But I’ll do so, as it seems like a decent number of people are interested.
You've got a great way of explaining the structure & modularity of using bash and "glue" together its userland utilities. You'd be awesome for teaching python and rust I'd bet! Thanks so much for making the video. BTW, how did you get those lines of code to highlight while you're explaining? Also, never saw "#!/usr/bin/env" syntax before ... it even works in FBSD.
Thanks! And I’ve only dabbled with Rust, but I will have some more programming videos soon. And I used reveal.js which has a line highlight capability for code blocks.
Perfect material, perfect music, perfect voice! One think, please a bit slower and pauses a bit longer, cuz content sounds squashed. Thank you so much!
Cool video ! never came across fzf before, I will definitely try it, and thank you for the shortcuts at the end, some of them blow my mind, as I always try to do some work arounds, I am a bit ashamed that I never tried to look for them ^^'
