    Automatically Stage All Deleted Files (Git)

    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 work on paths that no longer exist, so you have to manually type the path to the deleted item. The following snippet automatically stages ALL removed files.

    git ls-files -d -z | xargs -0 git rm --cached --quiet

    Automatically Change Links from Absolute to Relative

    In this example I’m showing one way to quickly convert all a href and img src paths from absolute to relative. It’s quite a time saver, but I suggest committing your latest changes before trying anything here! If you aren’t using a version control system, make a backup somewhere… please! Note: Both of these commands are one-liners.

    In the examples/results below, I tried to target most situations. You should see subtle differences between each example.
