Any Linux admins willing to try Pygrep?
fyi ack is like this but for perl instead of python https://beyondgrep.com/
-
Vim: ZZ and zz: Do you know the difference?
If you just need a single shell command you can do :!. Example:
:!ack "stupid_structure->who_wrote_this_crap.oooohhhhh\s+="
(and if you wonder what "ack" means: https://beyondgrep.com/)
-
Share your little shell functions and one-liners that make your life easier
Ack is consistent with grep but will sensibly handle the recursive stuff for you.

Found malware in the source code for my company’s website
Scan the file tree containing the website for the links, or part of tje links, for example with ack which is an easy to use, recursive reimplementation of grep.

I made grep -- but better
Ever hear of ack it might be a faster alternative.

Ask HN: Can I see your scripts?
No, but thanks for pointing out its existence. Homepage:
-
Can't run freeze_graph python script, No module named 'tensorflow.python'
(ack comes from ack-grep, a better version of grep, but you can just replace it with grep -r)
-
ripgrep: grep but better
Very much agreed. I'm a developer and I honestly prefer ack (https://beyondgrep.com/) myself. But it has the exact same issue. It's not standard.
-
Release 2.2.0 of an ack Bash Completion
Please visit beyondgrep.com for more information on ack and all of the command line options, which you can have completions for.

Moreutils: A collection of Unix tools that nobody thought to write long ago
My favorite missing tool of all time is `ack` [0]. It's grep if grep were made now. I use it all the time, and it's the first thing I install on a new system.

Ask HN: What are your favorite iOS/macOS automations?
sort of an automation, but I install all my favorite apps with brew and then use brew again (brew upgrade && brew upgrade --cask -g) to update everything
Bonus: I went the extra mile and wrote a script that bootstraps my entire setup: https://github.com/fastily/autobots/blob/master/macOS/setup/...

Ask HN: Share a shell script you like
I have quite a few, my personal collection of shell scripts: https://github.com/fastily/autobots
I also curate a shell command cheatsheet: https://github.com/fastily/cheatsheet

Ask HN: Can I see your scripts?
A few weeks ago, I asked if I could see your cheatsheets (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31928736) and I was really impressed by all the high quality responses!
Today I'm asking about your scripts.
Almost every engineer I know has a collection of scripts/utilities for automating ${something}. I'm willing to bet that HN users have some of the most interesting scripts on the internet.
So that said, could I please see your scripts?
I'll go first: https://github.com/fastily/autobots
