[09:40] Hi, I would like to check out a git repository modify it (change existing files or remove some of them) zip it and send it to someone else. However, I would like to not give them access to the git repository (i.e., when they unzip the folder they should not be able to do git pull or similar). How should I do it? [09:40] boba: rm -r .git [09:40] oh, maybe -rf because git marks some things as read-only [09:42] boba, Triffid_Hunter: put a rm .gitignore there too, maybe? [09:43] boba: well .gitignore isn't really part of the git history, that's instructions to git from the developer on which filetypes to blacklist.. you can remove it if you want [09:45] boba: https://stackoverflow.com/a/163769/419426 [09:46] Triffid_Hunter: Norux thanks. so the complete command would be "rm -rf .git .gitignore" [09:46] apparently this will still contain .gitignore and other .git* files but will exclude the .git working folder [09:47] boba: that will remove any git-associated files. [09:47] boba: could simplify with 'rm -rf .git*' [09:47] that's guaranteed to delete any git metadata [09:48] Gargravarr: careful. He might have a file called .git-information.txt or something like that [09:48] Norux: this is very true. i never said it wouldn't delete any non-git data :) [09:49] although having any git-related but important information as a dot-file is a silly practise anyway [09:53] .gitmodules? [09:59] Thank you everyone. For now it seems the simplest would be to do "rm -rf .git .gitignore .gitmodules" or "rm -rf .git*". I will also check https://stackoverflow.com/a/163769/419426, what Gargravarr suggested. [10:00] with SVN, it's standard practise to run 'svn export' to get a clean copy of the versioned tree without any of the metadata.

[10:07] Maybe add -type f [10:07] k let me check it [10:07] I did NOT test this. [10:07] is ther a way to dry run it [10:07] i was using rename [10:07] What are you trying to do again? [10:07] sec [10:07] Gargravarr there is no get-url args [10:08] this but with find rename -n 's/ *$//' * [10:08] i tried changing the * to {} [10:08] martenwang: what command did you type [10:08] sec [10:09] ooolos: Ah, renaming, you said remove trailing white space. [10:09] jink: you escaped the + [10:09] that won't work [10:09] Gargravarr: Aren't you supposed to, with sed? [10:09] yeah i want to rename a file by removing white space at the end [10:10] jink: nope, it's a regex [10:10] lots of file have white space in the ext at the end [10:10] and i have 100 of folders [10:10] ooolos: in the filename, then :) [10:10] yeah i said that :) [10:10] ooolos: find . -type f -print0 | xargs -r0 rename 's/ *$//' [10:10] 'trim trailing whitespace' is a common thing in text files [10:10] Any one around can help me with restoring A server using DD ? [10:10] k ty [10:11] user___: that's a big task, we need more details. what happened? [10:11] Gargravarr: Following scenario: 16.04 remote server. Ubuntu RAID 1. used DD to image the array md0,md1,md2 and dd to restore to the same server. Reboot the server and I can not access it via ssh but I can ping it. Can someone give me some pointers on getting access to the system? I have no GUI or web services installed on it. No VNC only ssh as of now. [10:11] Gargravarr: I was right. It's \+ with sed. [10:12] Norux i get it ,just git remote -v [10:12] user___: you will need a bootable system to use DD over SSH. does your hosting setup offer you the option to boot from a live USB/ISO? [10:12] jink: well, i'm surprised, i swear i've run into that before [10:12] Gargravarr: You probably use -E or -r. [10:12] @jink ty that appears to work [10:12] ooolos: np. [10:13] jink: ah, that'd explain it, i almost always use extended-regex [10:13] hi [10:13] martenwang: wow, learned something new, thanks [10:13] Guest51305: hi :) [10:13] Gargravarr: Yes. I am booted in a live Debian 8 on the server itself. [10:14] user___: okay. i've had to do this many times so i'll send you some instructions via DM [10:14] Gargravarr: ok thanks. [10:14] Norux yes,thanks [10:15] ooolos: find finds the files -print0 prints the file names with NUL terminators, xargs -0 picks up the file names with NUL terminators and feeds them to rename. You don't have to supply the file name argument there, because xargs does that. === Pleasures is now known as SemiControl [10:15] ah cool [10:15] xargs always confused me a little i always try stuff with exec [10:17] ooolos: Overly simplified, xargs just does "command file file file file" [10:18] lol sorry i lost my window [10:20] i jsut want to say ty to the guy who helpmed me [10:20] helped me [10:20] like find ./ -name '*a.ss' |xargs -I {} mv {} ${}.aa ,how i use the {} like a aviable? [10:24] Gargravarr: I am not sure if "git archive --format zip --output /full/path/to/zipfile.zip master " will do the same as "git clone ..." and then "rm -rf .git*"? [10:25] werid now my windows ha come back i could not focus it before :P [10:29] boba: `rm -rf .git*` will only remove the files associated with git, not pack a zip archive. [10:33] No need to use xargs when there is find's -exec [10:35] Norux: yes. I will make the zip archive afterwards manually. My point was if it is equally safe to just make rm -rf .git* to disable access to the git repository by the person who will receive the archive. [10:36] boba: Git doesn't touch the other files, so there will be no information about the git repo afterwards. [10:37] if the repo is private, one would need an authorized account anyways, but that's another thing. [10:38] Hi all [10:38] hi [10:39] Norux: what do you mean by doesn't touch the other files? Do you mean that if I do rm -rf .git* then there are no any other git-related files and hence one cannot issue any git commands such as git status, git pull, etc.? [10:40] correct. one would have to do `git init`, `git clone` or something similar first. [10:41] Norux: and "git init" or "git clone" in the folder that initially contained the .git* files is only possible if one has authorized account? [10:43] boba: no, but if they run those commands their folder won't be associated with your repository [10:46] Norux: I see. Thanks. You mean they won't be able to pull the removed files or retrieve the initial version of the files (before modification)? [10:47] the ubuntu software center only installs snap packages? [10:51] pepermuntjes, you can do snap list to see what snaps are installed [10:51] Hello. I unmounted a USB drive by clicking on the "eject/unmount" icon in the file manager. Now the whole device isn't visible anymore by the kernel. How can I trigger a re-read of the currently plugged in devices without having to un- and replug it? [10:53] hey [10:53] anyone else prefer windows [10:54] satoshi_nakam0t0: Maybe. [10:54] Please satoshi_nakam0t0 , no polls. [10:54] heard windows 10 was faster than ubuntu [10:55] !ask | satoshi_nakam0t0 [10:55] satoshi_nakam0t0: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [10:57] I'm not sure where this should be reported, if at all. [10:58] I needed to test something with an old Yakkety (16.10) system. So I used an old installation and s/us\.archive/old-releases/ . [10:59] This worked OK for most packages I needed, but at least some packages were missing. Specifically, [10:59] E: Failed to fetch http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zlib/zlib1g_1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu5.1_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [11:03] tzafrir, 16.10 is nearly 1 whole year EOL. I don't think you need to report it anywhere, since it's EOL. [11:05] JimBuntu, sure. I use it for historical uses. History is sometimes useful. [11:05] I've been using different versions of Ubuntu for many years, and found the Wayland-jump in 17.10 to be really refreshing. I find that we're back to X11 in 18.04. Is the reasoning behind this gathered somewhere? [11:06] tzafrir, Sure, history is useful. Doesn't really matter when talking about an "old" non-LTS release that is hundreds of days EOL though. [11:06] JimBuntu, but isn't old-releases.u.c itself maintained (at the basic level)? [11:07] tzafrir, the packages are maintained, but not guaranteed that any specific file will continue to be available indefinitely. [11:08] I don't expect it not to be buggy. Heck, I won't put such a system on the Internet. But it would be nice to be able to install packages. And zlib is one basic package in the dependency tree. [11:08] MrM1st, the X/Wayland 17.10/18.04 has been written about on many occasions, desktop weekly (will cooke), community hub etc... I'd suggest looking up Will Cooke's writings on the topic for 'reasoning' [11:08]
