Getting help on Play Framework console commands

It took me a few minutes to figure out that when you want help on Play Framework console commands (i.e., the Play command line tool), you may get more useful help by typing help play instead of just help. Using the first command shows information on commands like clean, compile, console, etc., which is what I'm more interested in.

To take a quick look at this, here's what you get when you type help play:

A tmux cheat sheet

I just started using tmux last week, and created a cheat sheet to help me remember the basic tmux commands, and I thought I'd share that here.

The cheat sheet has a few things that are specific to my configuration file, so to begin with, here is my ~/.tmux.conf file:

Scala SBT tool history commands

When you're using the SBT tool with your Scala projects, it can be helpful to list your "sbt history", the history of your SBT commands. Courtesy of the SBT tool itself, here are the history commands you can use from the sbt command line:

How to execute (exec) external system commands in Scala

Scala exec FAQ: How do I execute external system commands in Scala?

When it comes to executing external system commands, Scala is a dramatic improvement over Java. The operators Scala makes available are much more like Perl or Ruby, and the operators themselves are consistent with traditional shell commands, and are therefore easy to remember. Let's take a look at a few examples.

My Siri-like Mac speech recognition and computer interaction software

Eighteen months before Apple released their Siri software on the iPhone 4S, I found myself stranded in a motel in Dease Lake, British Columbia, and wrote a little speech recognition, text to voice, and computer interaction application. Here's a demo of how my Mac "Siri like" software application works:

A Git cheat sheet (Git command reference)

Summary: This is a Git cheat sheet (Git command summary) I've created, featuring many Git command examples.

As I've begun to set up my own private Git hosting repository (see Private Git hosting services, and My A2 Hosting Git repository using SSH), it's time to cram all these Git commands back into my head again.

Linux and Unix examples, commands, and tutorials

This page is an index to the Unix and Linux command tutorials and examples we've created. We've found that while Unix and Linux are powerful operating systems, its cryptic commands can sometimes be hard to remember, so hopefully these "Learn Unix by Example" tutorials will help make your Unix and Linux life easier.

Linux commands, organized by category

To make it easier to find the Linux command tutorials you're looking for, we've broken them down into the following sections:

Git shortcuts/aliases - How to create

Git shortcuts FAQ: Can I create Git shortcuts (aliases) so I don't have to type out full Git commands like "git commit..."?

I've been reading the Pro Git book a lot lately, and the short answer is yes, you can create Git shortcuts so you don't have to type out the long Git commands. Here are several Git shortcut commands (referred to as "git aliases") from the Pro Git book:

Free Unix/Linux and vi/vim cheat sheets

I created some "cheat sheets" (reference pages) for a recent Unix and Linux training class. One is a "Unix and Linux commands cheat sheet", and the other is a "vi/vim editor cheat sheet". I'll be sharing the entire "Introduction to Unix" training PDF here shortly, but in the meantime, here are the links to the Unix/Linux and vi/vim cheats:

vi/vim delete commands and examples

vi/vim FAQ: Can you share some example "vi delete" commands?

The vi editor can be just a little difficult to get started with, so I thought I'd share some more vi commands here today, specifically some commands about how to delete text in vi/vim.

vi delete commands - reference

A lot of times all people need is a quick reference, so I'll start with a reference of vi/vim delete commands:
