Linux Terminal Check stdin, stdout and stderr

Posted on by admin

When we want to check whether current terminal is attached to stdin, stdout and stderr streams or not, we can use the below codes. I tried with piping, and redirection so both works well.

As seen in below 6 usages, stdin is not listed in output of commands except first one. Because stdin is used by piping or redirection.

$  ([ -t 0 ] && echo stdin; [ -t 1 ] && echo stdout; [ -t 2 ] && echo stderr; echo hello)

stdin
stdout
stderr
hello
$ echo hello | ([ -t 0 ] && echo stdin; [ -t 1 ] && echo stdout; [ -t 2 ] && echo stderr; cat)

stdout
stderr
hello
$ ([ -t 0 ] && echo stdin; [ -t 1 ] && echo stdout; [ -t 2 ] && echo stderr; cat) <<<"hello"

stdout
stderr
hello

Linux Bash: Language Basics

Posted on by admin

I will not write all story here but people were using Teletypewriter(TTY) from 1830s and 1840s. As seen in the following pictures, it was a semi-electronic device, there wasn't any monitor, output was written in a paper.

Novadays, we use computers with monitor and operating system but Linux still uses TTY concept under the hood 🙂

You can find some diagrams below relation with Terminal Emulator and TTY

Teletypewriter(Teletype, Teleprinter or TTY)
A restored 1930s Teletype is now a Linux TTY
A Teletype Model 32 ASR used for Telex service
Video terminals like the DEC VT-100 (1978) made teletypes obsolete as computer I/O devices
Terminal Emulator (Pseudo type writer or PTY)
Each Terminal Emulator window attached to separate TTY as shown in the above screenshot.

GitHub clone all repositories

Posted on by admin

After you join an organization, you will need to clone all git repositories in your machine probably. 🙂

So first follow this post https://kenanhancer.com/2018/11/08/github-connect-with-your-ssh-public-key/ to create a ssh key in your machine and put in github then you can clone all repositories for any user.

if you have any authentication issue, then create an access token from github, copy and paste instead of {acceess-token} in the following code.

curl -u {access-token}:x-oauth-basic -s https://api.github.com/users/kenanhancer/repos?per_page=2 | grep ssh_url | awk -F '"' '{print $4}' | xargs -n 1 -P 4 git clone

In order to learn github API endpoint urls, use the following code.

curl https://api.github.com/

To learn more details about official GitHub REST API v3, use the following link.

Github Connect with your SSH Public Key

Posted on by admin

If you are using git for your projects, you need to run some git commands such as clone, pull or push. So, let's say that you want to clone one git project and if it is asking your username and password, you can create a SSH Public Key for your pc, after that you can paste it your github account so that you will never need to specify username and password.

You can follow below screenshot to create a SSH Public Key. After you create it, copy created SSH Public Key from terminal and paste it to GitHub SSH Keygen window like below.

Follow below screenshots to add your SSH Public Key in your GitHub account.
