bash - Where can I find bash_profile / bashrc themes?


I've been searching for bash_profile / bashrc themes on google for awhile but I'm not finding any kind of aggregation for themes. Most of them I find are small snippets like:


export TERM="xterm-color"
export CLICOLOR=1
export LSCOLORS=GxFxCxDxBxegedabagaced

For the record, this will be used for my Ubuntu bash profile, which the above doesn't even work for.


There are tons of VIM themes I've found, but no bash_profile. Any idea?



Answer



Your shell, per se, doesn't have a "theme".


The shell itself is more or less just the command prompt and the functions behind that. Every other color information will be determined by other programs. For example, the LSCOLORS you found is an environment variable for the ls builtin to use these colors in its output instead of plain text. Similarly, vim also just outputs certain color based on its scheme.


The programs will use color codes for that. These are "escape sequences". For more info, see: Bash Prompt HOWTO: Chapter 6. ANSI Escape Sequences: Colours.


But the main point where you set how these colors are interpreted is your terminal, not your shell. So if at all, you should find themes for your terminal. You could then modify that when ls would output "red", you'll actually want "aubergine" or similar. Any terminal emulator allows you to change the colors.


For example, using the Solarized theme in iTerm 2 for OS X, you can see that my "bright red" will actually turn dark orange, and my "black" is somewhat blueish:


iTerm colors


Finally, Generic Colouriser is a program that will allow you to colorize (almost) any command's output – even for commands that usually don't use colors at all, like traceroute:

Use Google instead of Bing with Windows 10 search

I want to use Google Chrome and Google search instead of Bing when I search in Windows 10. Google Chrome is launched when I click on web, but it's Bing search. (My default search engine on Google and Edge is http://www.google.com ) I haven't found how to configure that. Someone can help me ? Answer There is no way to change the default in Cortana itself but you can redirect it in Chrome. You said that it opens the results in the Chrome browser but it used Bing search right? There's a Chrome extension now that will redirect Bing to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo , whichever you prefer. More information on that in the second link.

linux - Using an index to make grep faster?

I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster. So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case? EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search. Answer what about cscope , does this match your shoes? Allows searching code for: all references to a symbol global definitions functions called by a function functions calling a function text string regular expression pattern a file files including a file

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y...
