When debugging, it is often helpful to see the returned HTTP headers and the raw output of a curl request. This can be done using the following command:
curl -X GET -is -o /dev/stdout https://myhost
If you need information about the connection establishment and TLS handshake, you can add the -v flag to the command:
curl -X GET -isv -o /dev/stdout https://myhost
The following script will allow you to use gw instead of ./gradlew in any subdirectory. gw will go up the directory hierarchy until it finds gradlew or a gradle settings file.
The echo $! command returns the process ID of the most recently started background process. This can be very useful when you want to wait for a process to finish before continuing with your script.
I used glogg for years but noticed that the last release was in 2017 and noticed that there is a fork called klogg which has many improvements: klogg
With this approach you can create nearly every random text or number.
tr -dc '0-9A-Za-z' < /dev/random | head -c10
tr -dc deletes all characters except those specified in the argument. This means that we waste a lot of bytes, but for occasional manual use, this is usually acceptable.| head -c10 prints the first 10 characters of the output of the previous command.
