Get list of git repositories from command line.

2009-10-04 3 min read Linux

Earlier I had posted a small blog on teamgit. The problem still is that you have to manually go to the git.kernel.org page and get the list of the repo’s that you can download. How about a command line to get the same. Here’s one:

wget -O – http://git.kernel.org |grep ”class=.list.” |grep -v title|awk -F’>’ '{print $3}’|sed ’s/<\/a//’

Output will be like this:<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">linux/kernel/git/ghaskins/linux-2.6-hacks.git

How to multimedia xmms, rythmbox, mplayer, video, etc.

Lack of multimedia in fedora is one of my major complaints. This is intended for our newbies that have problems setup multimedia for mp3 music and dvd playback. Some commands are for fedora core 3, 4 and 5.

Change user, assume environment, stay in current dir $ su — user I’ve used this a number of times troubleshooting user permissions. Instead of just ’su – user’ you can throw another hyphen and stay in the original directory.

phpMyEdit – Mysql table viewer, editor and php code generator.

2009-10-01 1 min read Database Linux

As a developer, whenever you want to write the php code to get the data from the MySQL database, sometimes it becomes tiresome and time taking. And what if you had to do it dynamically. Well I have not generated the code dynamically using <a href="http://www.phpmyedit.org/">phpMyEdit, but I believe that should be pretty much doable.

But what you would definately like this open source php code to view, edit and generate php code, saving you some time to concentrate on better and interesting things. The official website has this description:
