Snippets & One-liners

Just stuff I need to write down so I don’t have to go looking for them, again!

Filesystem

• Find the n largest files recursively. n is 20 in this example:

  find . -type f -printf "%s %h/%f\n" | sort -gr | head -n 20
  

Git

• Delete branches, local and remote

  # delete remote branch
  git push origin :branch-name
  
  # delete local branch also
  git branch -d branch-name
  

Vim

• Format my CSS

  %s/\(;\|:\|{\|,\)\(\s\|\n\)*/\1/g
  

• Remove empty lines

  :g/^$/d
  

Archlinux

• sort packages by installed size

  pacman -Qi|awk '/^Installed Size/{print int($4), name} /^Name/{name=$3}'|sort -n

Mutt

• tag duplicate messages

  T ~=
  

Music

• Split a flac file according to a separate cue file

  cuebreakpoints "sample album.cue" | shnsplit -o flac "sample album.flac"
  cuetag.sh "sample album.cue" split-track*.flac
