Scribbles for my bad memory

I learnt this when reviewing my colleague's code.

try 
{
    Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
    // do some time-consuming job
}
finally
{
    Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;
}

A sample nginx config file that redirects traffic from a domain to b domain

# This config is for old-domain.com => new-domain.com redirecting
server {
  listen 80;
  listen 443 ssl;
  server_name old-domain.com www.old-domain.com;
  location / {
    return 301 https://new-domain.com$request_uri;
  }
  #include /etc/nginx/conf.d/snippets/ssl.conf;
}


# A sample nginx config file for a reverse proxy server
server {
    server_name happynotes-img-uploader.shukebeta.com;
    client_max_body_size 10M;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/happynotes-img-uploader.shukebeta.com.access.log;
    error_log   /var/log/nginx/happynotes-img-uploader.shukebeta.com.error.log;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }

    listen [::]:80;
    listen 80;
}

We use feature/ticket-number-team-abbr as feature branch name, such as feature/mt-1234-axo at work.

If you mainly work with a huge repository. Everytime, you switch to the integration/main branch and run git pull before you create a feature branch, it would take a while as it needs to update your work directory and normally there are a lot of files changed.

I use a different way which is a little bit speedy. Whatever which branch you are now in, run

git fetch && git checkout -b feature/mt-xxxx-axo origin/integration 

It helps but I still need to type the above, which is still a lot of letters! So, I create a bash script to help me more,

see the following command nbi 38546

nbi 38546

what’s in this nbi script? here it is

cat ~/bin/nbi
#!/bin/bash

# Check if the current directory is a git repository
if ! git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree &>/dev/null; then
    echo "Error: Current directory is not a git repository."
    exit 1
fi

# Run git fetch to get the latest changes from the remote repository
git fetch

# Determine the action based on the script name
case "$(basename "$0")" in
    nbi)
        # Check if an argument is provided
        if [[ $# -eq 1 ]]; then
            # Run git checkout to create and switch to a new branch based on the integration branch
            git checkout -b "feature/mt-$1-axo" "origin/integration"
            exit $?
        else
            echo "Usage: $0 <anumber>"
            exit 1
        fi
        ;;
    nbm)
        # Check if an argument is provided
        if [[ $# -eq 1 ]]; then
            # Run git checkout to create and switch to a new branch based on the main branch
            git checkout -b "feature/mt-$1-axo" "origin/main"
            exit $?
        else
            echo "Usage: $0 <anumber>"
            exit 1
        fi
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Error: Unsupported script name."
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

why do I call it nbi ? haha, it is a ABBR from new branch from integration

Wait, why did I mention nbm in the script? Yes, you can copy this nbi script with name nbm , then using the nbm command it will work the same way with the repositories that use main as the integration branch.

Did you see? How lazy I am!

2024-07-22 Update: I also wrote another script sw to ease the switching branches operation:

#!/bin/bash

# Check if the user provided a number
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
  echo "Usage: sw <number>"
  exit 1
fi

# Construct the branch name
branch_name="feature/mt-$1-axo"

# Switch to the branch
git switch "$branch_name"

# Check if the switch was successful
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "Switched to branch '$branch_name'"
else
  echo "Failed to switch to branch '$branch_name'"
fi
