A super fast alternative to NVM is now open source on GitHubtl;dr: fnm is a very fast Node.js version manager, ~40x faster than NVM. It supports .nvmrc files and Fish shell out of the box. It works on Linux and Mac and distributed as a single executable - and it is open source on GitHub!So,Two weeks ago, I had opened a new tab on my terminal and complained in agony: “Oh dear god! Every time I open a new terminal it takes like one second!”. My teammates looked at me funny. “This is clearly sub-optimal and hurts my focus, and I believe it’s NVM’s fault.”I found it’s NVM that is at fault after I did a search around my .zshrc file, checking which line takes the most time. It was NVM’s initialization. I have been using NVM for years, and I always wanted to write a simple replacement, because my use (...)

Developer’s Toolkit: 4 linux command-line tools for debugging everyday issues that all developers should knowWe spend a large proportion of our lives debugging issues. Sometimes we just need an answer to a very simple question but getting that answer is a real struggle and can be time-consuming. On occassions I’ve seen a complicated 3rd party piece of technology thrown at the problem but often in these sorts of scenarios, linux already has you covered. Many of these command-line utilties either already come with a standard linux distribution or are one line away from an install from your specific distro’s preferred package manager. Here’s a list of command-line tools I think all developers should know how to use to answer simple questions.psFor answering the question:What’s running on my (...)

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency — ▻https://git-scm.com. Git is the most common version control software used today because It is different from other source control software out there. What makes it the best is that it is distributed, meaning that every collaborator have a full clone of the repository and may works with a remote repository to merge changes using uniq algorithms like rebase an so on.

The shifting tides of code and hype, deprecate and bit rot all the things. So, how do we build things that last? I recently built two command line tools and put careful thought into maximising their longevity. In this post I’ll share some of those thoughts.Search hard for existing solutions“Someone must have done something about this issue,” I thought while I searched frantically. But really, I was not able to find a command line tool that would convert a mysql connection string to connection parameters that could be fed to either the mysql or mysqldump commands.# This is what I wanted to write in the terminal, but could not. $ mysqldump mysql://username:pw@examplesite.com:3306/dbnameAll the tools I found required you to manually decipher the connection string and break it up into (...)

Docker is a great tool for building microservices, allowing you to create cloud-based applications and systems. To make the most of it via your terminal, here is a run down of the top 10 Docker commands for your terminal.A container is launched by running an image. An image is an executable package that includes everything needed to run an application–the code, a runtime, libraries, environment variables, and configuration files.A container is a runtime instance of an image–what the image becomes in memory when executed (that is, an image with state, or a user process). You can see a list of your running containers with the command, docker ps, just as you would in Linux. — from Docker Conceptsdocker ps — Lists running containers.

Lately, my boyfriend has been incredibly excited about using PowerTOP to decrease power usage for his Dell XPS running Arch. It’s a fantastic utility that displays a minimalist monitor for background activity in the terminal, but unfortunately it only exists for Linux systems.I’ve regularly used Activity Monitor for monitoring my CPU and memory usage, but I was beginning to wonder if it might be possible to have a non-GUI assistant for #mac systems.A thread on Stack Exchange recommended powermetrics, a #command-line utility designed specifically for Mac usage. It offers several uses, including sampling groups (interrupt sources, CPU power, device power states, battery and backlight info, thermal pressure notifications, and more).You can also save samples to buffers, order processes, and (...)
