I have been trying to figure out how a shell knows which directory you're currently in. I know there is an environment variable $PWD but when I try changing it manually, it changes what my shell shows at the prompt but commands like ls and cd are unaffected. cd is an internal shell command so I can understand it might use info stored wi...

Hi, the problem i face is this: I would like to have in a context menu (when i right-click on a folder) an action to be executed and display the output to the user, inside, let's say, a text area window with a vertical scrolling bar.

Hi all, I want to get a quick overview of the local changes in my repository, but I don't want a diff that shows deleted files, since every single line is a minus. Basically, I want something like 'git diff HEAD <list of modified files only>'. In an ideal world, it would be preceded by the list of deleted and added files, but not show ...

A friend of mine is using R and Emacs ESS which seems to work perfect, however i'd rather like to keep using vim. I have installed the vim-r-plugin2, however, i can only send code to a seperate term...

I am fairly inexperienced with shell(csh in this case) scripts but was asked to edit one. I was asked to add a config file to make it much simpler to edit several specific variables.
