Useful code snippets

9/10/20

I’ve been adding a ton of gists to my github account. I think this is a better way to store useful snippets than in a physical notebook.

An example gist

The other day I was looking for a more visually appealing way to read manual pages, and this bash command will convert the ssh man page into a nicely formatted pdf file:

man -t ssh | ps2pdf - ssh.pdf

Or if that’s not interesting, here’s one that exports jupyter notebooks to raw python files automatically every time a notebook file changes in the current directory:

ls *.ipynb | entr jupyter nbconvert *.ipynb --to python --output-dir=./src

I’ve got tens of these things, tens!
