VS Addons

Addons to make visual studio better...

GitDiffMargin
This provides a much better change indicator on the column left of VS editor. It does not remove VS default change indicator there and shows itself alongside it. I disable the the VS change indicator after installing this addon:

 Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> Advanced -> Show the difference overview margin

WhackWhackTerminal
This adds a nice little terminal window. After installation, enable it from  :

 View -> Other windows -> Terminal Window  

Want to use git bash instead of command prompt?

 Tools -> Options -> Whack Wack Terminal -> General -> Shell Path  

Auto Save File
This saves modified files on focus lose.

human readable \x string

See the value using:

 str = br"\x??"  
 str.decode('unicode-escape').encode('latin1').decode('utf-8')  

backup and restore on postgres

Wanna backup and restore postgres db?

 pg_dump -Fc -Z 9 -U postgres -W --file=file.dump db_name  
 pg_restore -Fc -j 8 -U postgres -W -d db_name file.dump  

Useful docker aliases

Some useful bash aliases:

 alias build="docker-compose build --no-cache"  
 alias up="docker-compose up -d"  
 alias logs="docker-compose logs --tail 50 -f"  
 alias run="docker-compose exec"  
 alias stop="docker-compose stop"  
 alias purge-containers="docker ps -aq | xargs docker rm"  
 alias purge-images="docker images -a | grep '<none>' | awk '{print $3}' | xargs docker rmi"
