Automatically Put Files Into a YYYY/MM Directory Structure

Posted on June 6, 2018 by adam — No Comments ↓

#!/usr/bin/env bash

## This script will find .sql and .gz files in the current
## directory and move them into YYYY/MM directories (created
## automatically).

BASE_DIR=$(pwd)

## Find all .sql and .gz files in the current directory
find "$BASE_DIR" -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.sql" -o -name "*.gz" |
 while IFS= read -r file; do

    ## Get the file's modification year
    year=$(date -d "$(stat -c %y $file)" +%Y)

    ## Get the file's modification month
    month=$(date -d "$(stat -c %y $file)" +%m)

    ## Create the YYYY/MM directories if they don't exist. The -p flag
    ## makes 'mkdir' create the parent directories as needed so
    ## you don't need to create $year explicitly.
    [[ ! -d "$BASE_DIR/$year/$month" ]] && mkdir -p "$BASE_DIR/$year/$month";

    ## Move the file
    mv "$file" "$BASE_DIR/$year/$month"

This is a quick set of examples for finding and opening multiple files in Vim.

# Open all found files in vimdiff
find . -name '.lando.yml' -exec vimdiff {} +

# Open all found files, one-by-one
find . -name '.lando.yml' -exec vim {} \;

# Open all found files in tabs
find . -name '.lando.yml' -exec vim -p {} +

# Open all found files in vertical splits
find . -name '.lando.yml' -exec vim -O {} +

# Open all found files in horizontal splits
find . -name '.lando.yml' -exec vim -o {} +

# Open all found files in vimdiff

find . -name '.lando.yml' -exec vimdiff {} +

# Open all found files, one-by-one

find . -name '.lando.yml' -exec vim {} \;

# Open all found files in tabs

find . -name '.lando.yml' -exec vim -p {} +

# Open all found files in vertical splits

Recursively Finding and Operating on the Largest n Number of Files of a Particular Type

Posted on February 3, 2016 by adam — No Comments ↓

If you want to reverse-engineer this, you can work from left to right, adding one command at a time to see what each step does to the output.

du -ah . | grep -v "/$" | sort -rh | grep "jpg" | head -25 | cut -f 2 | while read -r line ; do ls -alh "$line"; done

1	du -ah . \| grep -v "/$" \| sort -rh \| grep "jpg" \| head -25 \| cut -f 2 \| while read -r line ; do ls -alh "$line"; done

This example just lists the files we found, which is pointless…

Delete Last Command from Bash History

Posted on December 13, 2014 by adam — No Comments ↓

If you’re like me, on occasion you accidentally (or sometimes purposefully) include a password in a command. Until recently I would execute history , find the offending command’s number, then do a history -d NUMBER . It is kind of a pain. The following…

After a quick Google search for “ls permissions octal” I found a very handy alias to put in my .bashrc. Not only is it handy to see the OCTAL value of the permissions for each file/dir, it will undoubtedly help…

Automatically Stage All Deleted Files (Git)

Posted on January 25, 2011 by adam — 1 Comment ↓

Tab-completion is a really nice thing that we often take for granted. While working with Git I’ve found that it becomes inconvenient to stage (add for inclusion in the next commit) removed files using git rm path/to/my/file.php. Tab completion doesn’t…
