<p>I was given an older APC Smart UPS 1500, the batteries were dead, bulging, and leaking. I planned to run 2 desktop computers, a file server, cable modem, router, wifi access point, and a lamp off of the UPS and I wanted them to be able to stay up for more than a few minutes.</p>

<p>This page will outline useful information related to the usage of git.</p> <p>It is useful to get an overview of your changes when using git, so that you can choose a good commit message.</p> <p>Previously I would use <code>git diff *</code> the problem is that when you have bundled and minified files the output of git diff is enormous and not helpful.</p>

<p>Newer Firefox Versions keep taking more and more of my screen space for the title, bookmarks, and bookmarks bar.</p> <p>Even the bookmarks themselves have more padding around them, so less of them fit into a given amount of space.</p> <p>For me I need Firefox to offer utility over style.</p>

<p>Aliases can be used to speed up your command line usage. They can be used to issue multiple commands with a single alias command.</p> <p>The alias "update" is used to issue 3 commands apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, and apt-get autoremove.</p> <p>The alias "h()" is a function alias, this allows you to quickly search your history for keywords. such as "h nano" or "h grep" to get a list of lines from your bash history that match those keywords. We also ignore duplicates and lines beginning with a space and increase the history size.</p>
