[BitBucket.org] Clone all repositories of your account 2

Clone all bitbucket projects

 BBA=MyUserName; curl --user ${BBA} https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/${BBA} | grep -o '"ssh:[^ ,]\+' | xargs -L1 git clone 

The above curl call will connect to the server using your username and return the list of repositories that are available to your account.

Please note that you need to provide you username NOT your email.
If you make these calls using the email that was used to register the account, then the call will fail.

After the call succeeds, the results will be filtered and each repository will be cloned to the current folder.
In case your ssh key is locked via a password, each time a clone operation will start, you will be asked for the password.

Example:

BBA="bytefreaks"; curl --user ${BBA} https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/${BBA} | grep -o '"ssh:[^ ,]\+' | xargs -L1 git clone
Enter host password for user 'bytefreaks':

100  3834  100  3834    0     0   4414      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  4411

List all bitbucket projects

In case what you want is just to list your repositories, execute the following:

 curl --user ${BBA} https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/${BBA} | grep -o '"ssh:[^ ,]\+' | xargs -L1 echo 

Usage instructions: set your username to the BBA variable and execute.

BBA="bytefreaks"; curl --user ${BBA} https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/${BBA} | grep -o '"ssh:[^ ,]\+' | xargs -L1 echo
Enter host password for user 'bytefreaks':
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

How to set a static IP Address from the Command Line in GNU/Linux using ifconfig and route 5

Assuming you want to make the following changes to the network device eth0

  1. Change the IP to the static value 192.168.1.2
  2. Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0
  3. Set the Default Gateway for the device to be 192.168.1.1

you can perform these changes using the following two commands


sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0;
sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0;

ifconfig

ifconfig is an application that allows you to configure a network interface.
It is used to configure the kernel-resident network interfaces. and it is used at boot time to set up interfaces as necessary. After that, it is usually only needed when debugging or when system tuning is needed.
If no arguments are given, ifconfig displays the status of the currently active interfaces. If a single interface argument is given, it displays the status of the given interface only; if a single -a argument is given, it displays the status of all interfaces, even those that are down. Otherwise, it configures an interface.

route

route is an application that allows you to show and manipulate the IP routing table. The primary use of route is to set up static routes to specific hosts or networks via an interface after it has been configured with the ifconfig program.
When the add or del options are used, route modifies the routing tables. Without these options, route displays the current contents of the routing tables.


Inline replacement of all newlines in file with br tag

In case you have some output you want to add it to an HTML document, you need to make some modifications to it to make it appear properly.

One of them would be to replace the newline characters with the <br> tag.

If you have GNU sed, you can use the -i option, which will do the replacement in place.

sed -i 's/$/<br>/' myTextFile.txt

Otherwise you will have to redirect to another file and rename it over the old one.

sed 's/$/<br>/' myTextFile.txt > myTextFile.txt.tmp && mv myTextFile.txt.tmp myTextFile.txt

If you want to perform this change on the results of another command (because you are redirecting it to an email client like mutt) you can use the following example

someCommand | sed 's/$/<br>/' | someOtherCommand
