Git configurations for multiple work environments

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 12:49:51 +0000

Managing multiple git configurations can be streamlined by using conditional includes in your .gitconfig file. This allows you to specify different email addresses for commits in repositories belonging to different companies. Here’s how you can set it up :

Your directory structure is as follows :

1/home
2├── /user
3│ ├── /mycompany
4│ │ ├── /repo1
5│ │ └── /repo2
6│ ├── /othercompany
7│ │ ├── /repo3
8│ │ └── /repo4
9│ └── /repo5

Quick PDF to SVG conversion with Inkscape

Sat, 16 Mar 2024 23:28:57 +0100

Using Inkscape CLI

You can use Inkscape CLI to convert a file from PDF to SVG with the following command :

1inkscape "$pdf_filename" --export-plain-svg="$svg_filename"

A helper script

On macOS Inkscape is typically installed in

/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/MacOS/inkscape

To automatically convert a PDF file to SVG with the same base name you can use the following script :

 1#!/bin/zsh
 2
 3# Check if a filename is provided
 4if [ "$#" -ne 1 ]; then
 5 echo "Usage: $0 filename"
 6 exit 1
 7fi
 8
 9# Get the filename without extension
10filename="${1%.*}"
11
12# Construct the SVG filename
13svg_filename="${filename}.svg"
14
15# Execute the command
16/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/MacOS/inkscape "$1" --export-plain-svg="$svg_filename"

Quick Action on macOS

Using the Shortcuts application on macOS you can add a quick action to Finder to convert a PDF to SVG.
