Misc tools I wrote.

git/

The git subdirs currently contains a hook for git. The “update” hook.

update

This script is intended to check the format of the log message.

The following things are checked:

• Each changed files are mentioned (there is a list of ignored file).
• There must be at least one entry (unless there is no interesting file in the commit).
• There is one semicolon between two entries.
• There is less than 72 columns in the log message.
• There must be a title.
• No space before the semicolon (in French, there is one).

I explain this on my blog: http://enki-tech.blogspot.fr/2012/03/if-changelog-is-really-obsolete-how-to.html

debug/

dmesg.sh

This script was written for finding the address of a faulty instruction in a library that causes segmentation fault.

A full description of what it is, how it works can be found in my blog: http://enki-tech.blogspot.fr/2012/08/debugging-c-part-3-dmesg.html.

zsh_macros

Here is a module for zsh. It starts with the idea that sometimes, you have to create little script, useful for one, two or more hours, and it is boring to write a script for that. So what about a simple method to create some temporary scripts?

I am a huge fan of Emacs, and I wrote this module with the Emacs macro system in mind. So with this, you can:

• Create several macros;
• Use one of the macro previously recorded;
• Register the macro for using it later;
• Remove all the recorded macros;
• Having a flag in the RPrompt that indicates whether we are recording a macro and its id.

All the temporary files are stored in ‘/tmp’.

You may see my blog post that presents this concept.
