  • 11:48 UTC (new) (history) 2018-10-22 Running visual commands in Eshell . . . . Marcin Borkowski It is a known thing that running commands that control the terminal like top in Eshell is problematic – Eshell plays well with commands that take stdin in and put stdout out, but any control codes are just displayed verbatim. Happily, there is a way around it.

  • 17:59 UTC (new) (history) 2018-10-14 Magit and C-u i . . . . Marcin Borkowski Last time I mentioned that I use multiple backup copies of my .env file. One problem with that approach was they they cluttered my Git status (or the magit-status window). I could put the relevant pattern in my .gitignore file, but I didn’t want to bother other programmers in the team with peculiarities of my personal setup.

  • 06:24 UTC (new) (history) 2018-10-06 The version-control variable . . . . Marcin Borkowski As many of us know, Emacs has a habit (annoying for most people, I guess) of making backup copies of files it saves. Happily, it doesn’t kick in in version-controlled files (and most of my files fall into this category nowadays). But there are situations when I actually do want the backup copies.

  • 07:56 UTC (new) (history) 2018-09-10 Persisting Emacs variables . . . . Marcin Borkowski Some time ago I coded a certain Elisp tool (for internal use at Wiadomości Matematyczne) and I needed to preserve the value of some variable between Emacs sessions. I asked how to do this on the Emacs mailing list, and I received a whole lot of very interesting and worthwhile responses.

  • 16:20 UTC (new) (history) 2018-08-13 A tip on git stash . . . . Marcin Borkowski I don’t know about you, but I use git stash fairly often. (This might be just a bad habit, and committing might be a better idea, but I do find stashing useful, especially for minor changes I’d like to apply from time to time on different branches but never commit. Yes, console.log and friends, I’m looking at you, but also at turning on various “debug” variables.) After some time, git stash list begins to look like this

  • 19:59 UTC (new) (history) 2018-08-06 Editing past Git commits . . . . Marcin Borkowski Everybody and their mother are now writing Git tutorials of various kinds, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon and do my own just like the thousands that already exist. Just kidding. My one will be different.

  • 12:45 UTC (new) (history) 2018-07-29 2018-07-29 The INSIDE EMACS variable . . . . Marcin Borkowski While researching stuff connected with Eshell and shells in Emacs in general, I encountered an interesting bit of information. It doesn’t seem to be useful for me personally, since I seldom use M-x shell or M-x term, prefering Eshell instead, but maybe someone may find a use for it. When you run a script/command from one of those Emacs non-elisp shells, the environment variable INSIDE_EMACS is set to a nonempty value so that scripts can recognize that they run inside Emacs.
