Create a graph out of an XML file

 in Applications  tagged graph editor / xml / yEd by

To create a graph out of an XML file, we used the yEd graph editor.
yEd is a desktop application that can be used to generate diagrams. It is free of charge (not FOSS) and runs on all major platforms: Windows, Unix/Linux, and Mac OS X.

For the following demo we used the latest release for GNU/Linux that was available at the time (yEd-3.17.1).

Usage Example

  1. Download yEd
  2. Extract it
  3. Navigate into the generated folder (e.g. if you used the attached version then the folder will be yed-3.17.1)
  4. Start the application using a JRE. In our case the command to start it was: java -jar yed.jar
  5. Click on the Open option (or go to File > Open... )
  6. Navigate to the XML file that you want to graph and click Open
  7. In the pop-up window for the drop-down named XSL File for then select the option XML-Tree and click Ok
  8. By now you should have your graph available to view/edit/export

Git: Perform a stash addition using a custom/meaningful message

 in Programming  tagged git / list / message / save / stash by

Did you ever wonder “Is there more to git stash?”, we did!
We wanted to see if there is a way to manually set the stash message to something meaningful instead of the automated message that derives from the last commit.

Fortunately, there is the command git stash save "Meaningful message"; which allows you to add new changes in your stash and at the same time use a custom message.

By using the git stash save "custom message"; command you will be enhancing the results of the git stash list; command as it will contain more useful information for you.

Example

$ git status;
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
 (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
 (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

modified: me

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
$ git stash save "custom message";
Saved working directory and index state On master: your message here
$ git stash list 
stash@{0}: On master: custom message
$ git stash show
 me | 1 +
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
