Add .git_completion.sh to your home directory, and add this to your .bash_profile:

 

source ~/.git_completion.sh

function parse_git_dirty {
  [[ $(git status 2> /dev/null | tail -n1) != "nothing to commit (working directory clean)" ]] && echo "*"
}

function parse_git_branch {
  git branch --no-color 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e "s/* \(.*\)/[\1$(parse_git_dirty)]/"
}

export PS1='\h:\W$(__git_ps1 "[\[\e[0;32m\]%s\[\e[0m\]\[\e[0;33m\]$(parse_git_dirty)\[\e[0m\]]")$ '

Windows 7: Emulate CD/DVD Media on your machine.

I have been happy with Virtual CloneDrive for quite a while now. Today I stumbled upon a .NRG image that it won't mount as a drive and I wanted to have that image in a more popular format.

After some hunting, I decided to go for Daemon Tools, as they offer a free-for-personal-no-comercial license for their lite version of the product.

Linux:: SSH configuration file

To save some typing you can create aliases to the servers you frequently access via ssh. This can be accomplished by either editing the global file ( /etc/ssh/ssh_config ), if you’re root and and to make changes for all the users, or your own config file ( $HOME/.ssh/config ).

Follow the example, and remember to customize to your needs

Host *
Compression yes
Port 22
ForwardAgent yes

Host sample
HostName host.sample_of_a_very_long_host_name.com
User joe
ForwardAgent yes
Port 22
Compression yes

Now you can ssh into that server using:

ssh sample
