Things I discover (Programming/Linux/Automation/Shell)

• I learned about deploying django webapps using gunicorn and nginx. I was able to deploy full fledge application on raspberry pi.
• I was able to configure NGINX and serve static files on the client side.
• Learned about public and private IP addresses. most of the private IP addresses start with 192.XXX.XXX.XXX or 172.XXX.XXX.XXX
• :%s/$/HelloWorld/ This command allows to add something end of the line(Note:This command saved me so much time when formating data.)
• :%s!^!//! This vim command will add something in the beginning of the line.
• I learned about created userforms in excel and mapping the userinputs to the excel macros
• you can open python documentation using python3 -m pydoc -p <specify_port>

• xargs -n 1 curl -sL < urls.txt | grep -Eo "<title>.*</title>" This command allows you extract url titles when you have more than 1 url
• curl -sL <url> | grep -Eo 'href="(https|http):[^\"]+"' This command allows you extract urls from a webpage.
• use backticks to run a execute a command in bash script when the command is saved into a variable.

Example Script

filename="$1"
file="$1"
while read -r line; do
    name="$line"
    x=`curl -sL $name| grep -aEo "<title>.*</title>"` 
    echo "$x - $name"
done < "$filename"

• In order to delete a branch on git locally you can use git branch --delete <branchname> and if you want to do it remotely you can do git push --delete <branchname>

• you can use ?* to match the rest of the characters when moving the files with mv command.

Lets say you have different files such as finance.jpg,fin-tech.jpg,fin-last.gif and you want to move all the files at once instead of moving each file one by one as each file has a different name and extension. You might do something like mv fin?* folder/ as all three files have same first three characters and rest can be anything so using this trick you can move all the files with different extensions at once.
