git: ignore ownership

Sometimes your collaborative work requires automagic chmod and chown (changing of access rights and ownerships of files). Then git asks you to commit these changes, but which are not really significant.

To overcome this, just kindly ask git to ignore file mode:
git config core.filemode false

page up

Your linux bash allows for a quick line-completion with your Page-Up key. Probably you did not know — since many distributions lack this essential functionality. Do enable it, simply paste this into your /etc/inputrc (probably you want to remove other bindings for page up and down):

"\e[5~": history-search-backward
"\e[6~": history-search-forward

tar czf and then a mv

We are just packing our stuff together and then moving to the outskirts; combined with post-beamtime and pre-beamtime, together with post-semester, in-break course and pre-semester, in addition two papers and buying a new piezo scanner: not much time to update the k-raum.
