BATTLE Fix to add Default config; Make a Git Patch from CWD
1.[] My ticket , Bootstrap without any Local Playbook fails? #11
spencergibb/battleschool#11
1A.[] My working on making and demonstrating the patch; IPYNB.
http://localhost:8888/notebooks/ambatt-bug-11.ipynb
2.[] Git patch from current un/staged changes diffs.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5159185/create-a-git-patch-from-the-changes-in-the-current-working-directory
If you haven't commited the changes, then:
git diff > mypatch.patch
But sometimes it happens that part of the stuff you're doing are new files that are untracked and won't be in your 'git diff' output. So, one way to do a patch is to stage everything for a new commit (but don't do the commit), and then:
git diff --cached > mypatch.patch
You can later apply the patch:
git apply mypatch.patch

OSX Add Terminal to the Dock
1.[] How to as of 2010.
http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/adding-objects-to-the-dock/
Ex. Add an app;
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add ‘tile-datafile-data_CFURLString/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word_CFURLStringType0’
http://code.google.com/p/dockutil
or local or traditional mcx.
or the jamf binary (if you use the casper suite for management).
This will add iSync.app ( Or any app – just change path to what you want ) to the dock, Make sure to run as current console user in ARD and that users are logged in
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add “tile-datafile-data_CFURLString/Applications/iSync.app/_CFURLStringType0″;
to refresh dock:
killall -HUP Dock (run as root in ARD)

5.[] Login to GUI via CLI
https://github.com/jacobsalmela/login-user-to-gui-via-cli
Simulates keystrokes to log a user into the GUI from the login window.
This is useful in computer labs where you may need to log in a user to test out software or settings. Instead of typing in usernames/passwords manually at each computer, just send one of the commands via ARD and log them all in at once!
How it Works
OS X has access for assistive devices, which allows buttons to be pressed and keystrokes to be simulated. These features can be used via AppleScript GUI Scripting.
6.[] GUI post current info about the Mac.

https://gist.github.com/mxcl/1173223
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/wiki/FAQ
Why does Homebrew insist I install to /usr/local with such vehemence?
It’s safe
Apple has left this directory for us. Which means there is no /usr/local directory by default, so there is no need to worry about messing up existing tools.
Can I install my own stuff to /usr/local?
Yes, brew is designed to not get in your way so you can use it how you like.
Install your own stuff, but be aware that if you install common libraries, like libexpat yourself, it may cause trouble when trying to build certain Homebrew formula. As a result brew doctor will warn you about this.
Thus it’s probably better to install your own stuff to the Cellar and then brew link it. Like so:
$ cd foo-0.1
$ brew diy
./configure —prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/foo/0.1
$ ./configure —prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/foo/0.1
[snip]
$ make && make install
$ brew link foo
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/foo/0.1… 17 symlinks created

there is now a separate repo. Code is here;

Bash Tips
1.[] Be sure to run export after changing the Path!
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm
PATH=$PATH:/data/myscripts
export PATH
2.[] Simple way to edit path is just use editor with output to a file!
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/370047/what-is-the-most-elegant-way-to-remove-a-path-from-the-path-variable-in-bash
echo ${PATH} > t1
vi t1
export PATH=`cat t1`
