I tried upgrading pip when prompted to do so:
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
This worked, but removed the system install in /usr/bin/pip and replaced it with /usr/local/bin/pip – NOT GOOD!
The solution is as follows:
|
|
/usr/local/bin/pip uninstall pip yum remove python27-pip yum install python27-pip |

I needed to use an iframe between a pre-defined header and footer that would auto-fill the full height on any size screen.
On a desktop, the combined height of the header + footer was 223px and for mobile was 157px, so below find the CSS example:
calc(100vh - 223px) – for desktop
calc(100vh - 157px) – for mobile
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
... <style> @media only screen and (max-device-width : 480px) { #theiframe { width: 100%; height: calc(100vh - 157px); margin: 0; padding: 5px; display: block; } } #theiframe { width: 100%; height: calc(100vh - 223px); margin: 0; padding: 5px; display: block; } </style> ... <nav> ... </nav> <div class="doccontent"> <iframe src="https://www.yourdomain.com" id="theiframe"></iframe> </div> <footer> ... </footer> ... |

Using PERL, we can easily do a search and replace across multiple files.
perl -ni -w -e 'print unless m/^gdb\d+/;' yourFileSpec

First, get on the branch that you know already has the commits you are looking for:
|
|
git checkout theBranch-1234 |
Copy-and-paste the commit(s) you want:
~or~
Optionally, display the code changes for a visual confirmation:
|
|
git show {one or more commit ID's} |
Finally, extract the list of branches that contain the desired commits:
|
|
git branch --contains CommitID-A git branch --contains CommitID-B |
Example:
|
|
git log git branch --contains 097e1859f248a7aa5e148a2a946be3e360030095 git branch --contains 24339549f9f1920a33f721d3faa2538c8ba5d249 |

Recently, I wanted to see the “origin” of the git repository I was working in.
The command is: git remote -v
For example:
|
|
theUser@theHost$ git remote -v origin git@localhost:/volumes/data/git/thePlugin.git (fetch) origin git@localhost:/volumes/data/git/thePlugin.git (push) |

If you are unable to update a plugin via the WP admin console, then you can do the update manually.
Download the zip file to your local hard drive and extract it.
Then, from the command line, do the test run first:
|
|
cd {extracted_plugin_directory} rsync -av --dry-run --delete ../{extracted_plugin_directory}/ theHost:/volumes/www/theSite/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/{extracted_plugin_directory}/ |
*Make sure to use the trailing slashes with rsync for proper operation with directories.
Validate the output, then remove the --dry-run and do it for real:
|
|
rsync -av --delete ../{extracted_plugin_directory}/ theHost:/volumes/www/theSite/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/{extracted_plugin_directory}/ |
