[macOS] Git File Locking

 

Ref:File Locking | GitLab

Install Git LFS

Before getting started, make sure you have Git LFS installed in your computer. Open a terminal window and run:

git-lfs --version


If it doesn’t recognize this command, you must install it. There are several installation methods that you can choose according to your OS. To install it with Homebrew:

brew install git-lfs


Once installed, open your local repository in a terminal window and install Git LFS in your repository. If you’re sure that LFS is already installed, you can skip this step. If you’re unsure, re-installing it does no harm:

git lfs install

For more information, see Git Large File Storage (LFS).

Lock files

By locking a file, you verify that no one else is editing it, and prevent anyone else from editing the file until you’re done. On the other hand, when you unlock a file, you communicate that you’ve finished editing and allow other people to edit it.

To lock or unlock a file with Exclusive File Locking, open a terminal window in your repository directory and run the commands as described below.

To lock a file:

git lfs lock path/to/file.png


To unlock a file:

git lfs unlock path/to/file.png


You can also unlock by file ID (given by LFS when you view locked files):

git lfs unlock --id=123


If for some reason you need to unlock a file that was not locked by yourself, you can use the --force flag as long as you have Maintainer permissions to the project:

git lfs unlock --id=123 --force


You can push files to GitLab whether they’re locked or unlocked.

Downloading an Entire Web Site with wget

Ref: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/downloading-entire-web-site-wget

If you ever need to download an entire Web site, perhaps for off-line viewing, wget can do the job—for example:

$ wget \
     --recursive \
     --no-clobber \
     --page-requisites \
     --html-extension \
     --convert-links \
     --restrict-file-names=windows \
     --domains website.org \
     --no-parent \
         www.website.org/tutorials/html/

This command downloads the Web site www.website.org/tutorials/html/.

The options are:

• --recursive: download the entire Web site.

• --domains website.org: don't follow links outside website.org.

• --no-parent: don't follow links outside the directory tutorials/html/.

• --page-requisites: get all the elements that compose the page (images, CSS and so on).

• --html-extension: save files with the .html extension.

• --convert-links: convert links so that they work locally, off-line.

• --restrict-file-names=windows: modify filenames so that they will work in Windows as well.

• --no-clobber: don't overwrite any existing files (used in case the download is interrupted and resumed).

Centos 8 not updating

 Ref: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/cento-os-8-not-updating

Error: signature hdr data: BAD

I’ve reported this however for the time being what you can do is to update rpm alone and then do the dnf update on all packages;

dnf update rpm

After that is completed:

dnf update

 

CentOS through a VM - no URLs in mirrorlist

 

Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70926799/centos-through-a-vm-no-urls-in-mirrorlist

Check out this article: CentOS Linux EOL

The below commands helped me:

sed -i 's/mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Linux-*
sed -i 's|#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org|baseurl=http://vault.centos.org|g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Linux-*

Doing this will make DNF work, but you will no longer receive any updates.

To upgrade to CentOS 8 stream:

sudo dnf install centos-release-stream -y
sudo dnf swap centos-{linux,stream}-repos -y
sudo dnf distro-sync -y

Optionally reboot if your kernel updated (not needed in containers).
