Connecting to GitHub with SSH https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh

from commandline type git config --global credential.helper store

Then you will need to use your credentials with another interaction with github
I chose to commit a file and push

Type in your creds when prompted and complete the process

Afterwords you shouldn't need to type in your creds again.

Test this by pushing another change.

When I receive this error, the fix is to:

rm -rf .git

Then, I can git init again, with a clean initialization, and it works...

Things that I learned in Docker

The hard way!

There is no specific order to these learnings. They're just the random learnings of a madman, trying to learn and use docker for the first time... So, I'm just throwing them out there as I recall them. I said "madman," right? Of course these aren't in any order...

What I (novice) use to develop

Since I always feel like I'm learning, re-learning, trying to learn, or more importantly, somehow failing to learn / figure something out; and since people are always asking me how I do what I do... I thought I'd toss this out there; with the hope that it helps someone else.

I started playing with code in the late 70s / early 80s, on a Commodore 64 that my dad bought. He used to get tons of different science magazines, and in particular, Popular Science (I think that was the one) used to send out snippets of binary code in their magazines. Being somewhat unruly, I managed to get grounded for a couple of weeks. So, my friend and I discovered these snips; one such snip was Dig-Dug.

using nmap on ubuntu

I was creating a playbook to scan hosts and add them to an inventory. To start, I made my ansible playbook to install nmap on ubuntu with snap if it wasn't already installed.

The scan worked wonderfully, until I wanted to output to a file.

$ nmap -sn 10.10.10.0/24 -oX scan.xml
Failed to open XML output file scan.xml for writing

Deleting volume(s) on a flash drive from MAC terminal

I found myself searching for this a few times over the course of a couple days... So, it's time to make a small gist and "commit it to memory.".

This was the one that I liked the most -

Azure AD API - a novice's perspective

Trying to use the Azure AD API

Microsoft is great at documenting what it does, but everything reads like Encyclopedia Britanica. Simple guides, runbooks, and how-to articles are quite sparse, or at least hard to find.

My goal here is to walk you through interracting with the API.
