howdoi - a code search tool
Are you a hack programmer? Do you find yourself constantly Googling for how to do basic programing tasks?
Suppose you want to know how to format a date in bash. Why open your browser and read through blogs when you can just…
$ howdoi format string bash > [foo@bar ~]$date --date "2012-02-13" +%s > 1329055200 > [foo@bar ~]$date --date @1329055200 > Mon Feb 13 00:00:00 EST 2012 > [foo@bar ~]$date --date @1329055200 +"%Y-%m-%d" > 2012-02-13
howdoi will answer all sorts of queries
$ howdoi print stack trace python > import traceback > > try: > 1/0 > except: > print '>>> traceback <<<' > traceback.print_exc() > print '>>> end of traceback <<<' > traceback.print_exc() $ howdoi convert mp4 to animated gif > video=/path/to/video.avi > outdir=/path/to/output.gif > mplayer "$video" \ > -ao null \ > -ss "00:01:00" \ # starting point > -endpos 10 \ # duration in second > -vo gif89a:fps=13:output=$outdir \ > -vf scale=240:180 $ howdoi create tar archive > tar -cf backup.tar --exclude "www/subf3" www
