Delete Git Branch Local and Remote

Executive Summary

$ git branch -d 
$ git push origin --delete 

Delete Local Branch

To delete the local branch use:

$ git branch -d branch_name

Note: The -d option is an alias for --delete, which only deletes the branch if it has already been fully merged in its upstream branch. You could also use -D, which is an alias for --delete --force, which deletes the branch "irrespective of its merged status." [Source: man git-branch]

Delete Remote Branch [Updated on 1-Feb-2012]

As of Git v1.7.0, you can delete a remote branch using

$ git push origin --delete 

which might be easier to remember than

$ git push origin :

Gradle Dependencies

gradle -q api:dependencies --configuration testCompile

Externalize Common Gradle Functions

Content of helpers/common-methods.gradle:

// Define methods as usual
def commonMethod1(param){
    return true
}
def commonMethod2(param){
    return true
}

// Export methods by turning them into closures
ext{
    commonMethod1 = this.&commonMethod1
    otherNameForMethod2 = this.&commonMethod2
}
And this is how I use those methods in another script:

// Use double-quotes, otherwise $ won't work
apply from: "http://myhelpers.com/helpers/common-methods.gradle"

// You can also use URLs
//apply from: "https://bitbucket.org/mb/build_scripts/raw/master/common-methods.gradle"

task myBuildTask{    
    def myVar = commonMethod1("parameter1")
    otherNameForMethod2(myVar)    
}

Trust Relationship and Policies for AWS API Gateway and Lambdas

Your Policy for the lambda should set up everything your lambda is allowed to do. This includes passing a role.

}

Your policy also needs to have a trust relationship.

Java HTTPS Over VPN: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?

Many times a VPN will screw around with the IPV4 settings for secure connections.

Add these VM options to avoid problems:

Minimum Mongo Restore Permissions

So this would work to restore a single database: Backup

sudo mongodump -h localhost -d stuffdb --username restoreSingleDB --password Moon1234 \
  -o stuffdb.20160724.dump

Restore

db.addUser( {
    user: "restoreSingleDB",
    pwd: "Moon1234",
    roles: [ "readWrite", "userAdmin" ]
} )

mongorestore --db  --username restoreSingleDB --password Moon1234 /

So this would work to restore all databases including user data:

db.addUser( {
    user: "restoreAll",
    pwd: "Moon1234",
    roles: [ "readWriteAnyDatabase", "userAdminAnyDatabase" ]
} )

mongorestore --username restoreAll --password Moon1234 /
