I have been searching for a simple way to copy loads of text from remote servers for a while. This includes files, but is sometimes also only multiple lines from stdout of a program. Oftentimes this is kinda hard to do in terminal emulators, so I wrote a very small program to copy text via Operating System Commands.
This allows the terminal emulator itself to copy the text directly into the host clipboard. No x11 pass-through needed.
Lots of text editors like vim (with oscyank-plugin) or helix already have a functionality like that, but opening large files just to copy them is stupid (also not all servers I admin have the oscyank or helix even installed).
If you want to know, if your terminal emulator supports osc52, please refer to the oscyank-repo, they have a nice list.
Regarding
Cargo.lock, the recommendation always was to include it in version control for application/binary crates, but not library ones. But tendencies changed over time to include it even for libraries. If arust-toolchainfile is tracked by version control, and is pinned to a specific stable release, thenCargo.lockshould definitely be tracked too [1][2].It’s strictly more information tracked, so there is no logical reason not to include it. There was this concern about people not being aware of
--lockednot being the default behaviour ofcargo install, giving a false sense of security/reliability/reproducibility. But “false sense” is never a good technical argument in my book.Anyway, your crate is an application/binary one. And if you were to not change the
"*"dependency version requirement, then it is almost guaranteed that building your crate will break in the future without trackingCargo.lock;)
