In 'The Hobbit'' Chapter 2 'Roast Mutton' when Gandalf tricks the Trolls into being outside when dawn breaks. He sows disinformation to keep them arguing. He is TROLLING the trolls

apologies if that is old news. It's new to me

hah

I created a git alias recently compare = !sh -c 'git log --left-right --graph --cherry-pick --oneline $0...$1' but I kinda just followed what I saw in previous alias that I copied and pasted. What does the !sh -c do?

Invokes a new subshell to run the full command in the single quotes within

If I type !sh and then hit space it replaces it with a different command. I am guessing it shows a previous comand?

! in git config files is magic. It means 'invoke this in a shell'. Without a leading ! git assumes the alias is still a subcommand to git, for example log-notes = log --show-notes=* means git log-notes is the same as git log --show-notes=*

In the shell itself, ! has different meaning, I forget what that is (given that my bashrc seems to have broken it)

Ahhh okay that makes sense. I am guessing that the -c is a flag for arguments?

So that command is probably invoking in a subshell using sh -c and single quotes because otherwise the $0...$1 would be interpreted at the wrong time, i.e. before the rest of the command was run, instead of within the context of the output of the rest of the command

-c takes a string and runs it as a command within the subshell

Then exits that subshell

sh -c 'echo "foo"'

Would having a space between ! and sh work as well? How does it know where it get its arguments from?

nvm I figured out the argument part

Any recommendations for recording screens into a gif on OS X?
