Tips and Tricks

Search bash history with your arrow keys

Usually in bash the up and down arrows scroll through recently used commands. It is possible (and really useful) to modify this such that when type a few letters of a command and push up-arrow you scroll through recent commands that started with those letters. Say you can't remember the paramters you used to create a blast search yesterday? Type blastn then tap up-arrow, you have the whole command you used.

To get this behaviour your need to create a file called .inputrc to your home directory with the following.

$include /etc/inputrc #location might be os-specific?

"\e[A":history-search-backward
"\e[B":history-search-forward

Now, when you start a new bash seesion "up arrow search" will be available. This will work on any program that uses readline, so you will get the same behaviour in interactive R sessipns and ipython consoles.

Mozilla Study Groups

Massey Study Group is based on Mozilla Science Lab's study group project.

Wait, What's a 'Mozilla Study Group'?

Mozilla Study Groups are fun, informal meetups of your friends and colleagues from around your local institution or town to share skills, stories and ideas on using code for research, and explore open research practices. The goal is to create a friendly, no-pressure environment where people can share their work, ask for help on a coding problem, and learn and work together with their peers.

For New Organizers

• Join our Gitter Chat: There are Study Groups all around the world. We use an online Gitter Chat to connect and share resources and ideas (you can sign in with GitHub, or using a Twitter ID if you're not set up on GitHub just yet). If you'd like to say hello, please introduce yourself in the chat, tell us where you are, and what you're thinking about or planning for your new Study Group. We're looking forward to meeting you.
• Check out the Study Group Orientation Guide: If you think you might want to start your own group, The Study Group Orientation Guide covers running Group meetings, the super easy setup of your Study Group website, collaborating online using GitHub, an introduction to open research practice, and more. Take a look at the About section here and the section on the Study Group Lead role-- these should help you figure out if you'd like to start a Group.
• Come to an Online Orientation Meeting: We’ll be running an online Orientation-- a series of 4 meetings, -- for new Group Leads starting next month (November 2016!) and also in January of 2017. It’s a great opportunity to meet, network, and share ideas with other Groups. If you’re interested in joining us, let us know by filling out this form.
• Read the code of conduct: this Study Group Program is for everyone - we abide by a set of rules that require everyone be treated with respect. Help us make a space where everyone feels welcome, and we'll all have a better time!
• Watch this repo: up in the top right, there's a button that says 'Watch'; click it, and set yourself to 'Watching'. This will send you email notifications of new discussions; if you don't want email, but would like an alert just on GitHub, change the setting in Settings -> Notification Center (Settings is the little cog in the top right).
