manual

to add dotfiles of the variety Mackup might’ve but hasn’t yet:

# make `~/Desktop/.example.txt` part of the dotfiles repository
add="${HOME%/}"'/Desktop/.example.txt'
command mv -- "${add-}" "${DOTFILES-}"'/directory_where_it_should_go_if_any/'"${add##*/}"
command ln -s -- "${DOTFILES-}"'/directory_where_it_should_go_if_any/'"${add##*/}" "${HOME%/}"'/directory_where_it_should_go_if_any/'"${add##*/}"
unset -v -- add
lists
applications
command find -- \
  /System/Applications \
  /Applications \
  -maxdepth 3 \
  -name '*.app' 2>/dev/null |
  command sed -e 's/.*\/\(.*\)\.app/\1/' |
  LC_ALL='C' command sort -d -f

On Alpine Linux, generate a list of installed packages with:
command apk --verbose --verbose info | LC_ALL='C' command sort # via

Homebrew
command brew list -1
MANPATH
command printf -- '%s\n' "${MANPATH-}" |
  command sed -e 's/:/\n/g'
man pages

section contents
1 User commands, executable programs, shell commands
2 System calls (functions provided by the kernel)
3 Library calls (C library functions)
4 Special files, devices (like in /dev)
5 File formats, conventions (like /etc/passwd)
6 Games
7 Miscellaneous; conventions like man(7), man-pages(7)
8 System administration tools, daemons (usually for root)
9 Kernel interfaces, routines [non-standard]
pip packages
{ command python -m pip list --format=columns || command python -m pip3 list --format=columns || command python3 -m pip list --format=columns || command python3 -m pip3 list --format=columns; } 2>/dev/null

list everything recursively in a directory

with full paths

find -- . # via

and metadata

command find -- . -ls

lines, words, characters

in, for example, a C++ project directory, measuring only .cpp and .hpp files. via

command find -- . '(' -name '*.cpp' -o -name '*.hpp' ')' -exec wc -- {} + |
  LC_ALL='C' command sort -n

search

grep

search for the word “example” inside the current directory which is “.”

command find -- . \
  -type f \
  -exec grep -i -n -e 'example' -- {} +

locate all

for example, locate all JPEG files in the current directory . and below:

command find -- . '(' -name '*.jpg' -o -name '*.JPEG' -o -name '*.JPG' -o -name '*.jpeg' ')' -type f

PATH

command printf -- '%s\n' "${PATH-}" |
  command sed -e 's/:/\n/g'

executables

command printf -- '%s\n' "${PATH-}" | command sed -e 's/:/\n/g' | while IFS='' read -r -- directory; do command find -- "${directory-}" -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 ! -type d -exec test -x {} ';' -print 2>/dev/null; done

text editing

export output

printf 'First Name\n' >./ExampleFileWithGivenName.txt # create a text file with “First Name” and a new line
printf 'Other First Name\n' >./ExampleFileWithGivenName.txt # the “>” overwrites the existing file
printf 'Last Name\n' >>./ExampleFileWithGivenName.txt # the “>>” appends to the existing document

sort

command env >./example.txt # save an unordered list of env variables
command env | LC_ALL='C' command sort >./example.txt # via save the variables in an alphabetically ordered list

EOL and EOF encoding

find (?<![\r\n])$(?![\r\n]) # via
replace \r\n

make invisible

chflags -hvv hidden example.txt
-h for symbolic links, if applicable, but not their targets
-v₁ for verbose
-v₂ for printing the old and new flags in octal to stdout

create an alias

ln -s (link, symbolic) uses arguments just like cp existing new (via):

ln -s existing_file shortcut_to_file
