How replace old 'master' branch with new 'master' branch

Sometime, the master's commits was arranged with 'rebase' and the master branch has new commits.
How to update commits of new master branch to remote repository's master branch

  $ git push --force origin master

If the arranged branch isn't 'master', need to rename 'master' to other name, like 'old_master',
than rename arranged branch to 'master', and push with --force parameter.

  $ git branch -m master old_master
  $ git branch -m new_master master
  $ git push --force origin master

Using meld for git diff

* 建立一個給git diff用的script file 在/usr/local/bin/git-meld

    #!/bin/sh
    #This file placed at /usr/local/bin/git-mled

    meld $2 $5

* 設定git diff 用的外部程式

    git config --global diff.external /usr/local/bin/git-meld

* 要恢復預設的git diff 方式

    git config --global -unset diff.external

Using script file to mount ecryptfs file system

#!/bin/sh

echo 'passwd=12345678' > /tmp/mypasswd.txt

sudo mount -t ecryptfs test_ec test_ec -o \
key=passphrase:passfile=/tmp/mypasswd.txt,\
ecryptfs_cipher=aes,\
ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,\
ecryptfs_passthrough=y,\
ecryptfs_fnek_sig=617264405cf6d2f2

rm /tmp/mypasswd.txt

Install Apache + SSL in windows (version 2.2.22)

• Download package and install it

1. download httpd-2.2.22-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8t.msi
2. install it at "C:\Apache2.2"

• Setup

     Edit  C:\Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf

1. unmark # of LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
2. unmark # of Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
3. save it

     Edit C:\Apache2.2\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf

1. let SSLMutex  to     "SSLMutex none"
2. ServerName your.server.com.tw:443    # if your server has host name
3. or  ServerName 192.168.1.125:443     # if your server IP is 192.168.1.125
4. SSLCertificateFile "C:/Apache2.2/conf/ssl/server.crt"
5. SSLCertificateKeyFile "C:/Apache2.2/conf/ssl/server.key"
6. save it

• Generate CA files

  A. setting and folder

    1. Edit "C:\Apache2.2\conf\openssl.cnf" with below command. To make sure "dir" setting

         "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" C:\Apache2.2\conf\openssl.cnf

          [ CA_default ]

          dir = ./ssl       # Where everything is kept

    2. Create ssl folder in "C:\Apache2.2\bin".   Folder "C:\Apache2.2\bin\ssl" will be placed some files with regard to SSL/CA files.
    3. Create a empty file "index.txt" in in folder "C:\Apache2.2\bin\ssl"
    4. Create "serial" file in folder "C:\Apache2.2\bin\ssl", filling "01" in the file.
    5. Create a folder "newcerts" in "C:\Apache2.2\bin\ssl"

  B. Create "ca.crt" CA file
    6. In dos command windows, change working direction to "C:\Apache2.2\bin"
    7. hit "openssl genrsa -des3 -out ssl/ca.key 1024"     ,and provide a pass phrase, like "654321"
    8. hit "openssl req -config ../conf/openssl.cnf -new -key ssl/ca.key -out ssl/ca.csr"
    9. hit "openssl x509 -days 3650 -req -signkey ssl/ca.key -in ssl/ca.csr -out ssl/ca.crt"

  C. Create "server.crt" CA file
    9. hit "openssl genrsa -out ssl/server.key 1024"
    10. hit "openssl req -config ../conf/openssl.cnf -new -key ssl/server.key -out ssl/server.csr"
    11. hit "openssl ca -config ../conf/openssl.cnf -days 3650 -cert ssl/ca.crt -keyfile ssl/ca.key -in ssl/server.csr -out ssl/server.crt"

  D. Creating a client certificate pkcs12 file (.p12)
    12. openssl pkcs12 -export -name "Client Certificate" -in ssl\ca.crt -inkey ssl\ca.key -out ssl\ca.p12
    13. provide a import pass phrase that is using for import pkcs12 file on PC side.

E. copy ssl folder to ...
    14. There are 12 files and 1 folder in "C:\Apache2.2\bin\ssl".
    15. copy ssl folder to to "C:\Apache2.2\conf"

• Import pkcs12(.p12) file into web browser

1. copy ca.p12 to some PC that is using web browser, and click it. Windows will import it.
2. Windows will ask a import pass phrase for the pkcs12 file.

• Restart Apache server

1. Restart Apache server, try "https://192.168.1.125"

• Q&A

* get error message "no listening sockets available" when start apache server
    1. using "netstat -a -o" to find what program had hold TCP port, it will list what PID using what's port
    2. stop or kill someone process to release port that apache server using

Git 簡單指令使用

* 建立git database
$ git init

* 建立第一個進度點/版本(commit)
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "initial"

* 比對
$ git diff master
* 產生patch
$ git diff master > xxx.patch

* 放棄修改, 恢復到目前的commit
$ git checkout -f

* 列出commit
$ git log --pretty=oneline

14b26e3e80941f8290019f63231fb8b03ff805c1 initial

* 給予標籤
$ git tag -a v0.1  14b26e



========================================
* 使用patch
patch -p1 < xxx.patch
