Github Exodus Repo Updates#

I have some established locations for my repos on multiple machines. Here’s copy and paste stuff:

cd ~/configs/
git remote remove origin
git remote add origin https://forge.felixhummel.de/felix/configs.git
git fetch
git checkout main
git reset --hard origin/main

cd ~/bin/
git remote set-url origin https://forge.felixhummel.de/felix/bin.git
git fetch
git checkout main
git reset --hard origin/main

cd ~/1-provision/
git remote set-url origin https://forge.felixhummel.de/felix/provision.git
git fetch
git checkout main
git reset --hard origin/main

cd ~/.config/nvim/
git remote set-url origin https://forge.felixhummel.de/felix/nvim.git
git fetch
git checkout main
git reset --hard origin/main

TIL: Claude Hooks#

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks-guide

I run make on Stop, e.g. in .claude/settings.local.json

{
  "hooks": {
    "Stop": [
      {
        "matcher": "",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "make"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks-guide#get-notified-when-claude-needs-input is nice too.

Neovim as MANPAGER#

export MANPAGER='nvim --appimage-extract-and-run +Man!'

https://lobste.rs/s/zuh3zm/qman_more_modern_man_page_viewer_for_our#c_lzyrnh says compares to qman

  • index pages/overview pages: unique to qman

  • hyperlinks to other man pages: bound to K in vim for buffers with the man page filetype

  • hyperlinks for URLs: bound to gx in all buffers in Vim

  • hyperlinks for emails: presumably gx would also work but I’ve never tried

  • hyperlinks to files or directories: bound to gf/gF in Vim

  • table of contents: bound to gO in man page buffers

  • incremental search: enable for all buffers with :set incsearch, or use auto commands to enable only in man page buffers

  • command line option compatibility: can be approximated with shell configuration, or using plugins like my own vim-superman

  • keyboard mappings/mouse support/navigation history/online help/fully configurable/man page: of course all also available in Vim

The gx was new to me. :)

Sandbox für Claude --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions#

Mein Ziel ist simpel: claude --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions laufen lassen ohne Angst um meinen Host haben zu müssen.

Muss:

  • KVM-basiert

  • einfaches mounten von Daten (wenigstens PWD)

  • schnelles Startup: kleiner 200ms ist wohl gut
