rsync to sync Remote files

The rsync command can be installed using Linux package managers (for example sudo apt install rsync on Debian/Ubuntu). For Windows, you'll need to either use WSL or Cygwin to access the command. To use the command, navigate to the folder you want to store the synched contents and run the following replacing user@hostname with the remote user and hostname / IP and /remote/source/code/path with the remote source code location. On macOS, Linux, or inside WSL: rsync -rlptzv --progress --delete --exclude=.git "user@hostname:/remote/source/code/path" . Or using WSL from PowerShell on Windows: wsl rsync -rlptzv --progress --delete --exclude=.git "user@hostname:/remote/source/code/path" "`$(wslpath -a '$PWD')"

Convert your PuTTYGen keys

Reusing a key generated in PuTTYGen If you used PuTTYGen to set up SSH public key authentication for the host you are connecting to, you need to convert your private key so that other SSH clients can use it. To do this: Open PuTTYGen locally and load the private key you want to convert. Select Conversions > Export OpenSSH key from the application menu. Save the converted key to a local location under the.ssh directory in your user profile folder (for example C:\Users\youruser\.ssh). Validate that the local permissions on the exported key file only grant Full Control to your user, Administrators, and SYSTEM.

GCLI is a Graphical Command Line Interface.

GCLI wants command lines to be discoverable and beautiful in addition to being fast and powerful. GCLI commands are just JavaScript so it is easy to extend. As part of developer tools, GCLI will enable developers to access a wide range of development and diagnosis tools without a cluttered interface. It will help users enter the correct parameters quickly and without reference to manuals. Current web developer tools like Firebug and the Webkit Inspector have command lines, however they are largely unused for user interaction because they insist on a pure JavaScript syntax. https://wiki.mozilla.org/DevTools/Features/GCLI

What is the difference between 1.x and 2.x of jquery

Versions of 2.x leave behind the older Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 browsers. In return they are smaller, faster, and can be used in JavaScript environments where the code needed for old-IE compatibility often causes problems of its own. The jQuery team still supports the 1.x branch which does run on IE 6/7/8. You can (and should) continue to use jQuery 1.x on web sites that need to accommodate older browsers.

How to fix Google Apps Script: Script function not found: doGet

Every webapp in Google Apps Script must have a main function called doGet() which is the entry point of the app, the function that your app will start with when you type the webapp url. This is true for every application deployed as a standalone app and called by its url - with a user interface or not. If you read the documentation you'll see that all the standalone apps examples for HTMLService or UiApp have a doGet function. Only container embedded ui scripts or scripts that run on triggers are not concerned by this rule.

Networking modes in VirtualBox

Not attached In this mode, VirtualBox reports to the guest that a network card is present, but that there is no connection -- as if no Ethernet cable was plugged into the card. This way it is possible to "pull" the virtual Ethernet cable and disrupt the connection, which can be useful to inform a guest operating system that no network connection is available and enforce a reconfiguration. Network Address Translation (NAT) If all you want is to browse the Web, download files and view e-mail inside the guest, then this default mode should be sufficient for you, and you can safely skip the rest of this section. Please note that there are certain limitations when using Windows file sharing Bridged networking This is for more advanced networking needs  such as network simulations and running servers in a guest.  When enabled, VirtualBox connects to one of your installed network cards and exchanges network packets directly, circumventing your host operating system's network sta

Amazon Cognito - Add user sign-up, sign-in, and data synchronization to your apps

Amazon Cognito lets you easily add user sign-up and sign-in to your mobile and web apps.  With Amazon Cognito, you also have the options to authenticate users through social identity providers such as Facebook, Twitter, or Amazon, with SAML identity solutions, or by using your own identity system. In addition, Amazon Cognito enables you to save data locally on users devices, allowing your applications to work even when the devices are offline. You can then synchronize data across users devices so that their app experience remains consistent regardless of the device they use. With Amazon Cognito, you can focus on creating great app experiences instead of worrying about building, securing, and scaling a solution to handle user management, authentication, and sync across devices.
