Nice sed(1) regex! It looks obvious after seeing it. (more) |

Command substitution `$(...)` already strips the trailing newline. You don't need `-n`.

A: Run pipeline in the background from git hook Use nohup(1), and redirect stdout and stderr to /dev/null The following works as expected, not having to wait until the PDF is generated. ```sh #!/bin/sh test "$1" = "refs/heads/main" || exit 0; cd /srv/src/alx/linux/man-pages/man-pages/; unset $(git rev-parse --local-env-vars); git ...

Run pipeline in the background from git hook I'm trying to run a pipeline to update a PDF after every push to the 'main' branch. I want it to be atomic, so it doesn't touch the existing PDF until it has finished, so I need to use sponge(1) (from moreutils). I've tried the following script: ```sh #!/bin/sh test "$1" = "refs/heads/main... (more) |

A: How to RTFM well to get a CLI command The pager less(1) less(1) is the usual pager nowadays; you would do well learning to use it. It's also used for paging the manual pages, in most systems. The most common operation is searching, which is done by pressing `/`. Press `h` within the pager, or run `less --help` to read its help f... (more) |

Most shells don't provide manual pages for their built-ins like exit, but exit(1) is defined by POSIX (The Portable Operating System Interface), and there are POSIX manual pages.
On Debian:
```
$ apt-file find /exit.1;
fish-common: /usr/share/fish/man/man1/exit.1
manpages-posix: /usr/share/m... (more) |

Yes, as @Canina pointed out, I was trying to keep the Fixed font. I didn't check that other fonts had more sizes. It is indeed the simplest solution. (more) |

The winner to my taste has been `Lat15-Terminus32x16.psf.gz`.
Heh, only caveat is I prefer the Fixed font. But size matters! I wish there was a large version of it. :)
As you said, I don't trust passing the kernel a different resolution. (more) |

My default font is 8x16, and the largest one I can choose is 8x18. which I don't think will make much of a difference. Also, will it change the rectangle size, or will it just have less space between letters? That might even be negative to readability. (more) |
