Bash tricks

In all php files look for string “We are currently” and print filename and line number for every match:

find . -iname "*php" -exec grep -Hn "We are currently" "{}" \;

Inkscape can convert files from bash!

inkscape -z -D --file=input.svg --export-pdf=output.pdf

Git aware prompt

Download official script

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh -O ~/.git-prompt.sh

and replace your prompt setting code in .bashrc with

GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=1
GIT_PS1_SHOWSTASHSTATE=1
GIT_PS1_SHOWCOLORHINTS=1
GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES=1
GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM="verbose"
source ~/.git-prompt.sh
if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")\$ '
else
    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")\$ '
fi

Note: Original prompt setting to be replaced look like something like:

if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
    PS1=...
else
    PS1=...
fi
