Bits and bytes of code

Bytes is my collection of short-form posts, tips, and things I learn as I build software.

Showing results for #cli

Clear

I've been using ripgrep for some time now, and figured it would be great to share for anyone who hasn't used it before.

I frequently switch between Git branches inside of Neovim using Telescope, but it's also handy to be able to switch branches using fuzzy find when outside of Neovim.

Better Shell Aliases

I use shell aliases quite heavily to simplify common CLI commands. However, one of my biggest pain points when using them is they didn't work as well in certain complex commands.

I recently came across a Raycast extension that allows you to play/pause music from YouTube music while it's running in your browser. After exploring how it worked internally given I was a bit astonished it is even possible, I found that it's all just using AppleScript.

Arg Parsing in Bash

I was writing a script the other day that I needed to accept some optional arguments. I found that I could use the getopt command, but turns out the simple approach was cleaner in the end.
