Unix Tail Command on Windows to Print Live Logging

Image
Show live logs in windows Windows is a great operating system for day-to-day use, but there are some things in Linux and Unix that Windows doesn't have out of the box. For example, when I need to SSH into a Linux server, I often want to view log files using the tail command. Unfortunately, Windows doesn't have a native tail command. However, we can create our own function to mimic this simple tail operation using PowerShell.

Image
Nowadays you can find a lot of very advanced IDEs that are really smart and support robust development of any application.

Everthing on the clouds soon - Google Drive, Onedrive and Windows File Explorer

Image
File Explorer, Google Drive, One Drive As a forever Windows user, I have been using File explorer since the very first time I knew about this OS. It is the default program for browsing files on our computer, so we were familiarised with its feature, and that it’s very convenient to use, work smoothly, and make it very efficient for our daily use. Windows file explorer is a very simple program basically just showing a bunch of files, with its properties like file name, size, file format, date created, date updated, type of the files and many more handy features. Just like most file explorers in any operating system. File explorer actually has many more functionalities behind it, but for me i have never used most of them because file explorer is file explorer, it is just for working with files. Some features in file explorer  for example i have never used is the search box that is on the right top of the windows. I have almost never used it for example because it’s not always showing...

Image
Vim nerdtree on Windows 10 As a beginner vim user, even just installing a plugin is already something that confusing, i don’t know why the first time i try to install vim plugin just doesn’t work, even though i believe i have followed the instruction correctly.  So if you are someone like me, struggling to install vim plugin, you can follow this step by step guide.

The Ultimate Terminal For Windows, Couples Things To Begin With

Image
Watching star wars from windows terminal Today i just discovered a very cool terminal for Windows OS, it was developed by Microsoft itself, so it’s not gonna be disappointing, and probably a long term project. This very cool and modern terminal, the best terminal console I've ever seen. If you don’t know about this project, Windows terminal is Microsoft project, a better version of terminal that runs on Windows. Here’s the Official website of the terminal ( https://aka.ms/terminal ) from Microsoft. You can look for much detailed information, and how to install it. What to do the with the terminal The first thing i would do is to make the Windows terminal launch in fullscreen mode (maximize mode), which you probably already know, even this simple thing is not possible to do in classic cmd or even powershell. To make windows terminal launch maximize,just put "launchMode": "maximized" , into your settings.json . If you don't know where settings.json is, open W...

Difference Between Windows 10 Home Pro and Windows Enterprise

Image
Windows 10 wallpaper Windows 10 is my favorite OS, why? firstable because it is the most widely used operating system, so for example application or game developers will likely target Windows as their target user because it has big users. So Windows has lots of programs that sometimes other OSes don't. That the main reason, the second reason is, because i've been using Windows as my main Os for very long time, along the way i learn how to customize the Os (not really customizing the core part, because unlike linux, windows is very much commercialized, you get what microsoft give). By customize i mean just deliberately keep programs that only useful for me, remove if they are just consuming my computer resources. So now I have almost full control over my computer. Not to be bragging, but i know many aspects of window OS, like what is services, command lines, etc. I don’t really know that much, but enough for me to stick to the OS. There are three main branches of Windows 10, t...
