If you are using Visual Studio Code Insiders (for early adopters) you may need to have a vscode instance/window already running before running your difftool, otherwise it may crash once you finish reviewing the first file (when you have more than one file to check diffs)

git config --global diff.tool vscode
git config --global difftool.vscode.cmd 'code --wait --diff $LOCAL $REMOTE'

cURL with Java Keystore/Truststore

One way TLS/SSL/Authentication

Convert keystore to p12 file

Steps to generate self-signed PKCS#12 SSL certificate and export its keys:

1- Create PKCS#12 keystore (.p12 or .pfx file)

keytool -genkeypair -keystore myKeystore.p12 -storetype PKCS12 -storepass MY_PASSWORD -alias KEYSTORE_ENTRY -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 99999 -dname "CN=My SSL Certificate, OU=My Team, O=My Company, L=My City, ST=My State, C=SA" -ext san=dns:mydomain.com,dns:localhost,ip:127.0.0.1

myKeystore.p12 = keystore filename. It can with .pfx extension as well.
MY_PASSWORD = password used for the keystore and the private key as well.
CN = commonName, it will be shown as certiciate name in certificates list.
OU = organizationUnit, department name for example.

Installing Xdebug for XAMPP with PHP 7.x

New: XAMPP - XDebug Setup for PHP 8

Requirements

XAMPP for Windows: https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019

Setup

There are certain files created by particular editors, IDEs, operating systems, etc., that do not belong in a repository. But adding system-specific files to the repo's .gitignore is considered a poor practice. This file should only exclude files and directories that are a part of the package that should not be versioned (such as the node_modules directory) as well as files that are generated (and regenerated) as artifacts of a build process.

All other files should be in your own global gitignore file:

Create a file called .gitignore in your home directory and add any filepath patterns you want to ignore.
Tell git where your global gitignore file is.

Note: The specific name and path you choose aren't important as long as you configure git to find it, as shown below. You could substitute .config/git/ignore for .gitignore in your home directory, if you prefer.
