Posted on by admin

By default, there is no a keyboard shortcut to open the Sublime Merge quickly, that is not very handy.

This short note shows how to create a key binding that permits to “Open Git Repository” in the Sublime Merge using a hotkey.

“Open Git Repository” in Sublime Merge using Hotkey

In the Sublime Text, go to the Preferences → Key Bindings and in the right panel specify a keyboard shortcut for the sublime_merge_open_repo command, for example:

[
    // Open Git Repository in Sublime Merge
    { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+z"], "command": "sublime_merge_open_repo"}
]

Save with Ctrl + S and close the window with the key binding settings.

Now you can simply press the Ctrl + Alt + Z in the Sublime Text to open the current project in the Sublime Merge.

Below i will show how to force the docker-compose up command to pull the latest version of the images. (more…)

Nevertheless, there is a tool called “User Profile Wizard”, created by ForensiT’s, that can be used to copy the domain user profile to the local one and in this article I will show you how to do this. (more…)

To completely erase the Git Bash history you need to locate and delete the .bash_history file and then run the history -c command. (more…)

Python: Sleep Random Time – Web Scraping

Posted on by admin

Some websites can block access to prevent web scraping, that can be easily detected if your Python script is sending multiple requests in a short period of time.

To not get banned you can try to add random delays between queries.

For this you can use the Python’s sleep() function that suspends (waits) execution of the current thread for a given number of seconds with the randint() function that returns a random integer. (more…)
