Maybe? Run any command or script without a risk to loose your data

Maybe it’s a simple Python tool that allows you to run any console command without changing your local files. Actually your command runs as usual except system calls that are about to make changes to file system - maybe tool intercepts them and your files stay untouched. Recommended to find detailed description how it works on the project page on GitHub.

For example, you can see what happens when you want to create new file:
enter image description here
.. or run some script:
enter image description here

Installation

First you need to install pip. Download it from here (safely): https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#id8 and then run 

sudo python get-pip.py

Then install maybe with:

sudo pip install maybe

Now you can try maybe:

maybe touch new_file.txt

Enjoy!!!

Gedit: make links clickable (with Ruby script)

Image
Gedit is my favorite text editor in Ubuntu . It’s almost perfect for me. I use it for fast files editing or simple scripts writing when I don’t want to open my IDE . But I feel uncomfortable with Gedit when I cannot click links directly in text. We can fix it easily with External Tools plugin. All we need is to write a simple script (I prefer Ruby ) and run it through External Tools . Write Ruby script Create click_link.rb in your home directory. Paste following text to click_link.rb #!/usr/local/bin/ruby v1 = ARGV [ 0 ] require "uri" url = URI . extract ( v1 )[ 0 ] system ( "firefox #{url.to_s}" ) Do not forget to make click_link.rb executable chmod + x click_link . rb Create External Tool for Gedit Enable External Tools plugin in Preferences Tools > Manage External Tools Add new tool Paste following text #!/bin/sh /< your_path_to_file >/ click_link . rb $GEDIT_CURRENT_LINE Set Input = Current line and se...

Using Jenkins as HTTP server for your custom HTML

Image
Jenkins CI has its own small HTTP server after installation. You can use it easily when you need to publish your own html pages, e.g. code documentation such as Rdocs or YARD docs. To publish you content you need to put your files to /var/lib/jenkins/userContent directory (default path for Ubuntu installation). That’s it! Now you can find your pages on http://<your_jenkins_url>/userContent/your_page.html . As a result you’ve got http -server with restricted access for Jenkins users. Written with StackEdit .
