Mac Screenshots

To change the default saving location of Mac Screenshots (Desktop) you run the following in the Terminal, I also added the first command to ~/.bash_profile:


$ defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Screenshots

$ killall SystemUIServer

repo reset

Sometimes you have to get back to the pristine sync with your repo, I created a function in my ~/.bash_profile for that.


# REPO HEAD updated: February 13, 2018
function repo_reset()
{
source activate py27
cd ~/REPO/my-repo-name
pwd
#repo sync
repo forall -vc "git clean -xdf"
repo forall -vc "git reset --hard HEAD"
ls -alt
}

The "ls" command with sorting

The Mac/Unix "ls" command does not include sorting by file name. 

To get it done I added a new function in Bash to my ~/.bash_profile


# ls with sort - updated: February 13, 2018
function list()
{
    if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
        ls -a $1 | sort
    fi
   
    ls -a | sort
}

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
