Just a list of simple tricks/tips I've needed to look up more than once.
set title of tmux pane from bash prompt:
printf '\033kThis_is_your_title\033\\'
favorite aliases to go in .bashrc/.profile:
alias hig = 'history | grep'
alias pig = 'ps aux | grep'
extract vmlinux from bzImage:
# Change bzImage to your compressed kernel name
dd bs=1 skip=$(xxd -g0 -p /boot/bzImage.x86_64 | \
tr -d '\n' | grep -b -o 1f8b0800 | awk -F: '{print $1/2}') \
if=/boot/bzImage.x86_64 | gzip -d -c > /tmp/vmlinux
# 0x1f8b0800 is the gzip header...
leave off the trailing / on rsync? Have a new folder!
merge a single file from a git branch to your current one
git checkout --patch BRANCH file_to_merge
want to add a new file from a different branch to the current one? leave off the –patch for savings!
USE TMUX! USE MOSH!!!
