Useful Command Line Things

Overview

Temporal Server Utilities

tserve - Run the Temporal command-line server unobtrusively and pull up the webpage on-demand without remembering the UI port you used.

$ tserve
Usage: tserve [--port PORT] command
Commands:
  start     Start Temporal Development Server
  stop      Stop Temporal Development Server
  check     Check if Temporal Development Server is running
  open      Open Temporal Development Server Web UI (requires Python)
  schedules Open Temporal Development Server Schedule Web UI (requires Python)

NOTE TO SELF: Add simple namespace creation and deletion support as I sometimes need that, so I don't have to start figuring it out each time.

Authentication Support for GitHub

sshgo - I can never remember exactly how to run the ssh agent. This remembers it for me. Always check your keys after reboots.

$ sshgo
Usage: sshgo [option]
Manage SSH agent and keys.
Options:
  check: Check if SSH agent is running.
  start: Start SSH agent.
  stop:  Stop SSH agent.
  add:   Add private key to SSH agent. May need authentication.
  list:  List SSH keys.
  info:  Display GitHub topic reference URL.
  help:  This help message.

Ticketing and Documentation Repository Utilities

rgrep - Recursive search in the file type I set, like Markdown-only or JSON-only. I use this multiple times a day.

Usage: rgrep [-cl] <file_extension> <search_pattern>
    Perform a recursive 'grep' search from the working directory.
    Restricts search to files matching your file extension.
    For example, "rgrep json phrase" searches JSON files.
    Use the -c flag to set case-sensitive search.
    Use the -l flag to output only file names.
    Phrases may include multiple words without quoting.
    Use single quotes with wildcard items to avoid expansion.

jira - Open ticket or special pages in JIRA

$ jira
Usage: jira [-u|--url] <ticket> [<ticket> ...] | <special>
   jira 1181 1659 2286     Open tickets
   jira kanban             Jira Kanban board
   jira me                 Jira tasks page
   jira bugs               RICE-sorted triaged bugs
   jira tasks              RICE-sorted triaged tasks
   jira grab | avail       RICE-sorted triaged bugs+tasks
   jira issues             EDU issues (newest first)
   jira open               RICE-sorted triage/backlist
   jira rice               Official RICE list
   jira intake             Google Intake form tickets
   jira form               Google Intake form
Options:
  -u, --url         Echo the URL instead of opening it
  -h, --help        This message

cites - Connect md or mdx node to real URLs

Usage: cites <path_to_text_file>
Match a Docusaurus node to temporal.io URLs
  Only run from the temporal.io Documents repo.
  Dupe nodes w/ the same 'id' may produce extraneous URLs

qsay - Say it, but quieter

Usage: qsay [-v <float>] <text>
  -v <float>  Set volume level (default: 0.25)
Description: Say it quieter

Generally Useful

You may have to give things permission to open other things through System Preferences.

boop - does what xargs open does, but easier to boop 'em. This opens all the updated files.

$ git ls | boop

urls - does what xargs cites does, but easier to bop 'em. This performs URL citation searches on the labels in the files so it's easier to update JIRA tickets.

$ git ls | urls

folder - opens the surrounding folder for a path in a new Finder window.

$ folder /path/to/file

// OR

$ git ls | xargs folder

rn - Rename a bunch of files at once. Provide a source pattern, the replacement string, and the files to work on.

When possible, use 'rename' (via homebrew) instead

Usage: rn <pattern> <replacement> <paths>
Rename multiple files at once. For example:
    rename "[Oo]riginal" "NewName" Orig*

cleanup - Remove single matching lines from files in a folder using recursive search. Case sensitive.

Usage: cleanup directory_to_clean search_string

pman - Opens the output of man as a formatted PDF document in Preview. This version is Sonoma-and-later only.

$ pman
Usage: pman [-k] keyword
Options:
   -k      Run apropos instead.

Description: Open a man page in Preview as a PDF file

snap - Initiate dragged screen capture to PDF. Results left on the Desktop. Useful for screen-sharing sessions which put grabs onto the host computer instead of the shared one.

$ snap
Usage: snap [options]
  -d, --drag: Capture using drag-to-select
  -s, --select: Capture using interactive selection mode
  -v, --video: Capture video
 Space bar toggles between mouse and window capture
 Tap any key to finish video capture

lalign - Lets you left align code blocks without losing indentation. Works on the system pasteboard.

boxit - Wrap text in an ascii box, limited to 79 chars.

Deprecated

  • cites - we no longer use Assembly. I'll see whether the URL functionality still works.
  • make.sh - no assembly. I'll see if there should be a convenient system to be built for this or if the tooling is good.
  • flow, tflow, clflow - these are all crying out for a good general rewrite. I'll get to it.
