using bfg or filter-repo, I want to replace text in specific file - bfg-repo-cleaner

my git repo has above files with directory,
service-a
app.config
service-b
app.config
I want to replace the text in service-a/app.config, not service-b/app.config using bfg or filter-repo.
but those looks don't support it. How can I do that?
thanks

Pylint nested pylintrc : Specify a configuration file

Goal
I want to use pylint without specifying the file path (just run pylint instead of pylint --rcfile=linter/.pylintrc), as I want to save all linter related files in a subfolder linter/.
I thought of adding a .pylintrc file at the root folder only a redirection to the actual config file linter/.pylintrc.
Exploration
The option rcfile seems to be what I look for, it doesn't seems to import the settings from the sub-folder. What am I missing ?
Proposed .pylintrc file for redirection:
[MASTER]
# Specify a configuration file.
rcfile=subfolder/.pylintrc
This is not supported in pylint see this pull request

I have these .html files on github and I wasnt to open them in sublime text 3. how do I do so? Can I please get step by step instructions

Here are the files on GitHub attached, and I want to know how to open them in Sublime Text 3.
If it’s just a single file, you can go to your GitHub repo, find the file in question, click on it, and then click View Raw or Download at the top of the file preview to obtain a raw/downloaded copy of the file and then manually open it with sublime on your computer.
You can clone the repository to your disk and then simply open them like you would any file.

How can I stop "jekyll build" from overwriting existing files in the output directory?

The source for my Jekyll-powered website lives in a git repo, but the website also needs to have a couple large static files that are too large to go under version control. Thus, they are not part of the Jekyll build pipeline.
I would like for these to simply live in an assets directory in the Jekyll destination (which is a server directory; note that I don't have have any control over the server here; all I can do is dump static files into a designated directory) that does not exist in the git repo. But, running jekyll build deletes everything in the output directory.
Is there a way to change Jekyll's behavior in this case? Or is there some other good way to handle this issue?
Not sure this addresses the specific case in the OP, but seeing as how I kept getting to this page when I finally found an answer here, I thought I'd add an answer to this question in case it helps others.
I have a git post-hook that builds my jekyll site in my webhost when I push to my host, but it was also deleting anything else that I had FTP'ed over. So now I've put anything I need to stick around in a directory (external/ in my case), and added the following to my _config.yml:
exclude: [external]
keep_files: [external]
and now files in external/ survive.
If you upload Jekyll's output directory via FTP to your server, you can use a FTP tool that lets you ignore folders.
For example, my own site is built with Jekyll, but hosted on my own webspace, so I'm uploading it via FTP.
I explained in this answer how I scripted the building and uploading process, so I can update my site with a single click.
In my case (Windows), I used WinSCP, a free command-line FTP client, for this.
If you're not on Windows, you need to use something else, but there are probably other FTP tools out there that are able to ignore folders.
To ignore your assets folder in WinSCP, you just need to put this line into the script file:
(the file which contains the actual WinSCP commands - read my other answer for more information)
option exclude "assets/"
Now you can upload your large assets folder on the server once, and it won't be overwritten/deleted when you later update your site via FTP.

Saving .h file in /usr/include

I recently wrote my own .h file which I want to be able to include in any of my future projects. Thus, I saved the .h file in the /usr/include directory and have been able to compile my C++ projects fine. However, when I try to make changes to the .h file in any text editor (Sublime, gedit) I am unable to save. I assume this is because the text editors do not have sudo root privileges enabled by default. So how can I go about saving changes to my .h file from a text editor?
Thanks for the help!
You should not save your own project files in /usr/lib/include as this is reversed for Linux distribution installed include files only.
Instead, pass an option to your gcc compiler to tell where to find your include files for your own project. Do this into your own project folder and home folder, so no sudo priviledges needed.

How can I setup Jekyll for a blog with a large image directory, so as to avoid duplicating that directory in the generated site?

I'm considering Jekyll for a site I'm putting together that will be a blog with lots of images (and other larg-ish media files). It's easy enough to to make a directory for images and then link to them as needed in the posts. But, as I understand it, when the site is generated, all the image data will be duplicated into the generated _site directory that holds the static files. Each time the site is generated the _site directory is emptied, and repopulated with the static version of the site.
Is there any way to, for example, drop a symlink to the images directory inside the site directory, and then maybe have jekyll ignore it when the static files are generated?
Or is there another way to go about this that makes more sense?
Assuming you are running on an apache web server, you can setup an Alias directive to serve images from a directory outside of the normal docroot. You need access to edit the VirtualHosts config or some other ability to create aliases directives (e.g. via a control panel).
For an example of how this would work, let's say you are storing your jekyll files under a directory called "/web/jekyll". To get your images directory do the following:
Add an "_images" directory along with your basic jekyll tree. Ending up with something like:
_config.yml
_images/
_layouts/
_posts/
_site/
index.md
Update your apache config to add the Alias directive like:
Alias /images /web/jekyll/_images
Reload the apache config and run jekyll to build the site.
Since the image directory name starts with an underscore, jekyll won't push/copy it to the output _site during the build. Apache will happily serve most files from your _site directory as normal, but when it sees something like "http://jekyll/images/test.jpg", instead of looking for the file under "/web/jekyll/_site/_images/test.jpg", it'll serve it from "/web/jekyll/_images/test.jpg".
Incidentally, I like a little more separation of the source content and output content than jekyll defaults to. So, I setup my directory structure as follows:
/web/jekyll/html/
/web/jekyll/images/
/web/jekyll/source/
/web/jekyll/source/_config.yml
/web/jekyll/source/_layouts
/web/jekyll/source/_posts
/web/jekyll/source/index.md
With the following option set in _config.yml
destination: ../html
And the apache alias directive setup with:
Alias /images /web/jekyll/images
Jekyll is run in the "/web/jekyll/source" directory, but output is sent to the "/web/jekyll/html" dir. Similar to the first example, calls to "http://jekyll/images/test.jpg" are served from "/web/jekyll/images/test.jpg". This setup doesn't really make a difference from a site serving perspective. I just like the cleaner separation between the raw source files, the fully baked output files and the images which work via the alias.
Correct, the first part of the jekyll command removes everything in the destination directory. The problem with that is the symlinks must be manually created again. So next, go ahead and create a script that does this each time.
Be sure that:
exclude: [jekyll, css, img] in the _config.yml file
linux: The ";" symbol runs first, second, third.. commands.
script: A file named jekyll with executable permissions containing
jekyll;
ln -s /var/www/css /var/www/_site/css;
ln -s /var/www/img /var/www/_site/img;
Finally run (./jekyll) that program instead of jekyll.
-Dan
Make a project page for the images.
Set up directory structure
/home/git/svnpenn.github.io
/home/git/img
Run Jekyll
# We cant add the symlink until after jekyll is done. We will remove the
# site folder and wait for it to rebuild.
rm -r _site
jekyll --server &
while [ ! -f _site/index.html ]
do
sleep 1
done
ln -s ../images _site/images
Note I was using this because I thought it would help publish time on GitHub
pages. It does not. GitHub can take 1-10 minutes to publish depending on the
server.
I know this has already been answered, but I went a slightly different route. I hosted all of my images in a public directory on Dropbox and use grunt to generate a manifest of the images. It keeps my repository small because the images don't get checked in. I detailed it a while back in a blog post.
