06:23 UTC (new) (history) 2025-05-12 Coloring Git output in Magit . . . . mbork – Today I have a very short and rather niche tip, but maybe someone will find it useful (as I did). Like many other people, I use Magit on a daily basis. One thing that bothered me a bit was the fact that when I pressed $ to see the output of the Git process, all colors were gone. This was a problem for me, since the pre-commit hook I use calls the TypeScript compiler to tell me about any potential problems with types in my code. By default, the output of tsc is colored with the ANSI color codes. While the coloring can be turned out, the setting to do that is rather crude (it also disables pretty-printing/formatting), and after all, these colors serve a purpose and are genuinely useful. I decided that before I turn the formatting off, it may be a good idea to check if Magit has an option to allow coloring the Git output using ANSI codes.

19:50 UTC (new) (history) 2025-05-05 A simple budgeting app for Ledger . . . . mbork – Some time ago I mentioned having built a very simple web app to help me with budgeting with Ledger. Let me share it with you right now. It is extremely simple – the whole app resides in just one index.js file which has less than 150 lines of code, and over half of it is boilerplate code or code related to authentication (which is very simplistic anyway).

18:41 UTC (new) (history) 2025-04-28 Improving my Emacs-Jira integration . . . . mbork – Almost three years ago I wrote about a very simple Emacs-Jira integration I have been using since then. As is often the case, I noticed some inconveniences with it, and decided to improve it.

18:56 UTC (new) (history) 2025-04-21 Easter 2025 . . . . mbork – Everyone, happy Easter! Despite everything bad that happens, Christ has risen, and He is the Lord who rules over the whole world! Rejoice, come to the Church if you’re not already there, repent if you already are, and hopefully see you in Heaven one day! As usual, I’ll be offering a decade of Rosary for all of you reading this.

04:34 UTC (new) (history) 2025-04-14 Copying the current location on steroids . . . . mbork – A few years ago I wrote about a simple utility I wrote for myself to copy the “current location” in the project (that is, the filename and optionally a line number) to the system clipboard so that I can yank (paste) it in e.g. my company chat system (which I have to use outside Emacs). I’m using it all the time, and it’s very useful, but it’s still a bit limited.
