Welcome my friend. Oh, thank you, Jared thank you so much and let me just say I really appreciate you and Julia thank you for hosting me congratulations on your 600th show. I did see that on LinkedIn recently and I think I commented on that. But I just, I really appreciate being with you. So thank you very much and it's a pleasure to be back a second time. That's right that's right that means that you didn't mess up the first time and we really wanted to hear more from you. Oh, it's stressful. I'm telling you stressful. Well tell us a little bit Liz about your role but moreover World Affairs Council, in particular your Dallas Fort Worth like tell me what this organization does and how it shows up in our community. Okay, so we are really you said you hit the nail on the head we're a community organization we're really part of a grassroots network around the United States, we're one World Affairs Council of 90 and 42 states so that's pretty exciting. And actually before was in Washington DC at our national umbrella organization which I can talk a little bit more about later, but I was co there and heard about this role and so came here a year and a half ago. The World Affairs Council of Dallas Fort Worth is a non partisan nonprofit that is focused solely really on engaging and educating North Texans on all things international affairs. So we don't specialize in a geographical location or an international topic we hit hit them all. So I saw that you have my website there on the previous slide and I appreciate that but it is DFW world.org we do a lot. We do a lot. Yeah, check it out and I love that you really you know bring up non partisan so you you touch on all topics and all great things and I really appreciate that. So today we're talking about advancing female leadership and I cannot think of a better person to come on and have this conversation with Liz. So first of all, let's dive in deep because you know you and I we don't really play in the shallow end we go deep into the deep end is like, if there's a high dive we're going to jump it. Why is female leadership important let's let's go there. Yeah, you know let me start with this really quickly because I was thinking before we were going to go on here that I was going to apologize for looking so tired. I'm visiting my mother right now and I had a really hard travel day and I didn't end up getting to my mom's last night until 215am. And I was thinking I should just go ahead and apologize for that and then I said no, no, I'm not going to apologize that's ridiculous and I think that's tied into who we are as women, and the constructs that we've created in our society and I think that ties into leadership. And so, yeah, this is this is this is this is all of me that you're getting right here and I'm not apologizing for that but I wanted to mention that that that was my natural inclination, and I think that women do that a lot. That's important and I can empathize with that as well. And I love that you bring that up because you know we are doing so much, and we also often say I'm sorry or provide this. Apologies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good for you. Yeah. Well, as this. Yeah, okay, so I'll mention that later but you know I think that that women create stronger organizations and there's a study done that women in leadership tend to 30% outperform other companies. And I think that it's so important to have representation at the table. Right. So, for me, women leaders are such a role model and inspiration for me. And I think that when you leave out half the population we're 51% of the population and when you leave that out, you're leaving input behind and these policies that we're creating in our society at our businesses and government at our houses when you leave out the population in these decisions, those policies are impacting us and how can we not have those those those opinions and input in being in making those so it's incredibly important to have representation. You hear a lot of people in our world talk about that. And I think that's important across across the spectrum but you know I think again, I've got notes here so if you're seeing me look across the side here I'm, I'm checking on my notes. So I also think that women leaders tend to be more nurturing. And I think that women who are looking after employees well being, and they're more supported, there's less burnout. I think that you retain staff longer. And for me, I know as a leader, employee retention and employee engagement is really the bread and butter of my career it's the it's the most important thing to me I love my staff I love the employees I love my teammates. And so, all those things are important and I think that naturally just women tend to nurture. Yeah, better. And, you know, inclusivity, just in general. I know that you probably feel a lot of the same ways in these, these, these things that I'm saying. Well, and one of the things I'm curious about because I see this in myself is as a woman, I still am driven by my masculine energy. So the masculine and the feminine energy right and so I actually drive with my masculine energy so when you mention women are, you know, naturally more nurturing. I have to question myself. I get it, I get it, I get it. But that's something to think about and so for you to share you know why female leadership important is important and to share some of those stories and some of those you know impact statements is fantastic. Let's get even nerdier because you know I really like to talk nerdy.  Where else do we find some good solid stats in our data as it relates to female leadership. Yeah, before we go there Jared let me just add also. So throughout time we've traditionally had men as leaders. Okay, and so when we have men as leaders we are creating the idea of leadership lead leadership has been something that we've been building over time it evolves it's. It's not this hard thing, but it's typically through the ages, created by man. So when we think of leaders we are thinking of a male leader, and what what male lead leaders tend to be and how they behave and how they manage, how they transform and so when women started to creep into leadership positions which is wonderful and we have a long way to go there and it's going to take time but when women start to creep into these positions and they deviate from from behavior that that male leadership is. It's seen as less, literally, is that a word, we're going to use it you know what I mean. But, but yeah, and so let's say this for example women tend to use more exclamation points and smiley faces and things like that that may seem more feminine and, and things that women do and so when they do that when they use that in email let's say or other communications. It's less it's seen as less of a leader because that's not as typical of a male and I think that women tend to stuff that down and try to try to not do that. And as I've been pondering leadership throughout my career and female leadership particularly as I am a woman. I've really I've, I've, I want to embrace things like that more because I think we need to move the needle on on leadership and what it means to be a leader.  I'm in a place and I agree with that and I love that you pointed out like when we think of leaders we think of, you know, the avatar, I would agree is probably a male, a male leader and I'm curious because we're going to go into the data but I'm curious list from your global perspective. Right, like let's go globally here with your perspective. How are you seeing this female leader in other spaces and cultures right like how is this being perceived. What are their global communities. Well I gotta tell you, so the US, the United States is typically seen as pretty far advanced, pretty far advanced in terms of female leadership, but we're really behind in government and other women executives across the board and other countries and even countries that you may not think necessarily they've they've had women as leaders for some of them for a long time and so I think across the board around the globe, we have a ways to go. Yeah. But, but the US is doing all right but yeah, but we do have a long way to go. Yeah, there's still some work to be done. Right, well let's get into is there additional data you can share with us Liz you know behind that female leadership but I know we touched on this a little bit, but if there's more data behind this would love to hear it. Yeah, okay. So, I mentioned that women are 51% of the population, however we are far underrepresented in leadership positions across sectors and in the economy and in American society it's not just business and politics. I was reading about one study recently and that study said that there's two biggest challenges that women face that that keep women from leader leadership positions and it's that women are tied to higher standards, and that some businesses don't feel ready to have women in top executive positions and so that's a big challenge for us I think it's a mentality, you know, we can do the work. We can go through the motions of interviews and and and hiring and onboarding and all and all these other things that elevate and lift women, but it's the mentality that is so hard to change hearts and minds it's the last thing it's the last thing that's going to evolve and as we've seen, there's been 0% of women as presidents of the United States. In Congress there's 28% of women at large 24% of the US Senate 28% of the House of Representatives. We're talking about the private sector. So, this is actually a much higher number than I've been reading in years past and so it keeps creeping up but right now for Fortune 500 companies were 8.2% of women CEOs now that's that's private business though let's say 23% of executives are women 29 women hold 29% of senior management positions 37% of manager positions and of course that goes up as the, the, the level of women goes down. Another one a study found that women represent 5% of the top earners considered the as the 1% right, and we represent 54.3 of the workforce in December of last year, but we only hold hold 35% of leadership senior leadership positions. And we're not we're not even talking about equal pay. We're not even scratching that service a whole other can work. Yeah, no, yeah, that's another episode but these are some statistics that you know we I believe we need to be aware of and when we think of our leadership across the nation in particular, I'm going to show you guys how you can share with us some best practices for us to advocate for female leadership right like if we're seeing this opportunity, how might we advocate for female leadership, be it you know in a nonprofit space on the board level right the governing fiduciary agents of the organization as well as that C sweet middle management and really just all levels of leadership for an organization. How do we best advocate for that. Okay, well, well, that's, that's, that's a lot. And I think it starts as children but let me let me give you one other stat about nonprofits so a budget of nonprofit is a million dollars or less and let me just say this because I am in the nonprofit field. I'm incredibly grateful for being in my position but women make up less than 56% of CEOs but if you go 50 million or more in a budget, we're at just 22%. So, it's unfortunate, but but to get back to your question I think it can start as children and I think that is evolving. You know there's been commercials and advertising and we as even we as children and Jerry you and I come from the same hometown and I'm sure you were also told you can be anything you want. And I think that that we are told that but then reality sets in and so I think it's more of a reinforcement when we're young and that must continue. But I think when we get to, to, let's say young adult and adulthood, those opportunities need to be given more fairly more openly I think we need to continue to advocate for girls and young women and STEM, and there's a lot more boys and those those education avenues but educational avenues. When we get to women and careers I think mentorship and you're talking about advocating I think mentorship is really important. And so, perhaps we institute more mentorship programs for for women. I think that you need to speak out. I think that people and I actually read a study on this a couple of days ago actually about women advocating for other women. I think we need to speak out more and I think so many of us, including men may not feel it's as important as it actually is, and may not feel comfortable in doing that but I think anytime that we can speak up and speak out about women advancing, or opportunities I you know I said a little while ago that women are held to a higher standard and I actually think that's true. Not always, but often. And so I think that, yeah, mentorship speaking out, giving the opportunity, hiring women and so there there's the argument that I've heard in, in, in years past that well we would hire more women we'd have more women in leadership that pipeline is not there. There's there we don't have the options. And you know what I think it's true to an extent. I think some of it's a little bit of a. Okay, I'm on to you. But, but, but yeah, I mean I think we need to evolve the pipeline which means starting when we're children and in developing that. So, your organization, you have a youth program how how is that advancing leadership, you know globally can you talk to us about that program. Gosh, well I love that you said how are we advancing leadership globally I would love to take credit for that. For me, I always think like what we do here is impacting the globe, you know truly that that ripple effect and and so yes I do see it that you know you are impacting globalese but talk to us about the youth program that you offer just a little bit because I think that that shares a little bit of demonstration. Okay, okay. So one of the four pillars of our work is our education work and we call it the global young leaders program and essentially what we've done is gone gone on to high school campus campuses across the Texas area we're in about 70 private public homeschool charter and we have set up junior world affairs councils. It's really exciting and we are bringing global curriculum and global competency back to our high schools we're doing teacher curriculum training and things like that and so we're impacting around 8000 high school students every academic year around 1000 teachers we're working with. I love that and you know you, you said we're impacting the globe and I made a little bit of a joke about that and what is that saying about my female leadership. I don't know another conversation but to get back to the case and point. I do perhaps think that we are affecting the globe because we are are educating our youth on global competency and to me, that is bringing the world to north Texas bringing north Texas to the world and we are creating a more competitive community and workforce here and so a lot of the students that we're impacting obviously we are opening and exposing them to the to the world at large and so yes, they want to go into international affairs probably at a higher rate than if they not heard about us, and they do work for government they go into foreign service they go into corporate and they work all over the world so yeah, I will take that credit, not me, the team. Yeah, but we'll take that credit. I love that that you know the data behind this female leadership talking a little bit about you know how do we advocate provide that mentorship takes us so perfectly Liz into would you share with the amount of time we have here. I love this photo it's it's very powerful of you, but what is your female leadership journey what what does that look like for you. And, and I also love that you know today as we're as we're providing this opportunity.  Okay, I want to say this point that I started to say in the very beginning and I probably should have inserted it there but you're talking about vernacular that that we use and we were in a staff meeting a couple of weeks ago and we were we go around round Robin to talk about her updates and what's going on and thorns and roses in our lives and things like that and one of the interns, we asked the interns what they're working on and one of the women, and these are high school and undergraduate for the most part. And she said, I've just been da da da da da da da and I and I had to interrupt her right away and say no no no no no no hold on a minute. You're not just doing anything you're you're contributing to our organization in major ways and we value the work that you're bringing to us and all your skill sets and talents and so I think women tend to use just and I have obliterated that from my, my, my communications because I'm not just checking in with you. I'm not diminishing what I'm doing I'm, I'm, I'm being confident and so yeah, that's one piece but let me just say also that I think that all of us are are all of us women are leaders every day at our at our desks in our homes and our communities and our places of worship in our businesses and in our offices and I think it's a really wonderful thing I think that we don't realize how much of a leader that we're being every day. I think about my mom, who raised us as a single mom my brother and I, and I think of her and say, wow, she was getting business done, being a leader and it's just, it's, we're all leaders every day, and, and think about that through the lens of a career. Be a leader at your desk take on more initiatives and think about your projects, think about learning more about your job you're being a leader every single day whether you realize it or not, and grow into that breathe into that let that imbue you to be the person that you're fully capable of being and I see it in the staff and my teammates, and I love seeing that but okay, so my leadership journey, you know, I've been told my whole life I'm a natural leader and Jared I think probably the same of you. Yeah, yep, yep, yep. And so when when we were when we were kids, I was always the one who got volunteered to go do the scary task right and asked the question, do the task or whatever it was, and I was always voted to be that person in my group of friends. My first real brush of leadership was I was captain captain of my high school soccer team. My senior year where you, you played soccer to. Yes, I was also captain. Yeah, yeah. I love it. I love it. I love it. Okay, so that was my first brush with it but, you know, I've often thought through the years. What does that mean that we're leaders that were natural leaders. What is leadership? Is leadership innate? Is it taught? Is it a combination? I feel that I still continue to ponder that because what is true leadership. But I will say that for my career and that my career has not been linear. A lot of women's careers are not linear for a variety of reasons. And I would agree that mine wasn't and I remember having this stress years ago about thinking, oh my gosh, am I going to be okay in my career? I don't know. Am I going to make it where I want to be? And it turns out that I'm doing all right. But I think that a lot of women face that angst and that anxiety because they're not linear. Anyway, I've worked hard in my career and I've worked even harder. I've volunteered a lot. I've busted my behind and I've overcommitted. I've been stressed out. I had chronic stress. But you know, we work really hard as women, as everybody, but we're talking about women here. But yeah, I worked really hard to get where I am. I've been in nonprofit, public and private sectors now and nonprofit obviously. Really happy where I am. But yeah, I'd say hard work. That is a great story.  That is so powerful in how we show up as female leaders and what we model, we might not always wake up and say, okay, I'm going to model female leadership today. But what you shared in your childhood story for your brother and yourself to be raised by a single mom, I'm guarantee, you know, she didn't wake up every day and say, okay, I'm going to model female leadership, right? It just was. It is what we do.  So your journey is very familiar to me in so many ways and I'm sure to many of our viewers and listeners as they listen to you Liz, you know, as the president and CEO for the World Affairs Council of Dallas Fort Worth because it's so important the stats you shared with us are so important. I'm glad to hear that the US is making strides, you know, we're really in a good place. And there's still work to be done and to mentor and to advocate. I couldn't echo your statements further so thank you for all of this. Oh my gosh thank you very much and I just want to say I was actually just to go back to your authentic authenticity point. I was I had to fill out a leadership questionnaire recently for something that anyway, and I had to give three adjectives to describe my leadership and authenticity was one of them. I really believe that and but I want to thank you for this opportunity again Jared, really grateful for you and I just want to say as we're ending here that to all of the younger women that are may listen to this or who are listening to this. Keep going keep persisting I was, you know, scared at times and didn't know where I was headed and thought that I wasn't going to make it and just keep trying keep persisting you will get there you will get there and I admire you. And I am supporting you and I am encouraging you every step of the way, but just keep going, you'll do it. Yeah, yeah. Great advice. Absolutely love it. Please check out the World Affairs Council Dallas Fort Worth Liz and her team have amazing programs projects offerings that they provide the community and so you know I've learned a lot in fact the global business and reword was something that I learned. I can't believe it but it was, you know, it was, it's part of my life I just didn't know the term for it, and you put that term, you know, to, or brought it to reality for me so thank you. Thank you for that so much Liz, and thank you to Julia Patrick, a CEO of the American nonprofit that allows me to show up day in and day out and have amazing conversations like the one that we just had here with Liz and again to our presenting sponsors that allow us to show up for these authentic moments to have these authentic conversations unscripted I want to share because our corporate sponsors are presenting sponsors rather they trust us that much. So it's fantastic I want to say thank you so very much to Bloomerang American nonprofit Academy fundraising Academy with the National University nonprofit nerd, your part time controller staffing boutique and the nonprofit thought leader. Please check out these companies I always like to mention that in the beginning but I hope you really just focused in on today's guest Liz Brailsford as you joined us to share about advancing female leadership so thank you so very much, and to all of you that have joined us we like to remind you, and ourself and I'm going to remind you Liz, to please stay well, so you can do well. Thanks again, we'll see you all tomorrow.


And I'm also going to be teaching you on like a bunch of stuff like common line environment Tuesday we saw like a bunch of stuff like how I can afford the bus, like cell buildings And the thing is if you're gonna be spending a lot of your time in the cell is what kind of Customizing and making things easier for you Do you know kind of all the the tricks that you can do on the trip that people have already done? And how can you benefit from that? This is like a lot of tricks and I like stuff that we are going to beat if you at any moment like Don't like fully understand what is going on like feel free to stop me have me why that happened Where did that came from? How have you managed to do this? And I'd be really happy to explain because that's what a lot of these lectures should be like all these all these things and I'm gonna start kind of like Easy stuff But again So the first thing is like we saw like you can create all these comments I'm like there's like a lot of luck that you can Do to them and one of the nice thing is like more cells Allow you to make aliases of comments.  For example, if you're in a In a report and you do like it's status Thing that you will be doing a lot of the time and it's stupid enough So I'm having so having some alias that is some like Yes Yes, I'm gonna be exact same song And this is like a bunch of different properties One of them is that like for example right now if I have like weeks to that we just define We tell me all these alias to LS minus L Alices can compound. So for example, if I just now define L3, it's like oh, it's L2 minus a so I'm not only want to list kind of everything in kind of the long format Which is one L flag stands for I also want to like List kind of the hidden files like some point here we see We do a three we're gonna see there is listing kind of these fires are hidden by people And well just happened here is like L3 was expanded to L2 minus a and then L2 was again expanded to kind of LS and this Bass is All the cells are pretty smart about it and they also allow you to overwrite the existing names It doesn't know like a lot of family languages doesn't really allow you to do that But it's completely fine for me to say oh LS is a dream and right now what is gonna be happening is when I thought LS LS is alias with three or 3 to L2 to the program LS and everything is being solved for example, if you just do this a lot of time It might be worth knowing. It's also sometimes You don't want to have the alias work for you. Sometimes you may want the raw function because you maybe have alias your Mac LS or like your Mac red to kind of unix red This is a thing because for example Mac and unix You still sometimes have a slightly different black ones kind of annoying So if you want to look it kind of call it without like the alias is being resolved without using And the LS is just like but what last LS and it works will be with the regular one same thing if you just do like common less It work for a way if you want to kind of permanently remove You can literally just like an alias LS and now if I ask Which LS is literally being LS Next thing This is kind of not exactly In the sense of this class, but like No, like there is like Most units based system you have this like for what's last TMP kind of a temporary file system So if you want to just like think it with like creating files moving stuff trying stuff around You have one to like some temporary place to place your kind of temporary files for your script Dnb will be kind of clean every time it will be used and it's perfectly fine to use Then remember to clean for example Adir here moving to it and When I move oh one more way before before I get into this one thing with alias is is if I get like a A new cell mount and I ask for l2 l2 is not frequent because I define this in this cell and The if I want this to carry on different things or thing that I have to do is this this commander I died where I say this is this like a command that needs to be executed Every time I enter a cell But then is pretty much every cell has Some concrete files and will leave some preferences in the notes That we read for example, if you are using Bass you will have in your In your home folder you will have your kind of Buzzer C Where you can pull like different stuff that will be read in the here So for example what I have in my buzzer C is like oh check This is kind of syntax for check this file exists and if it exists Kind of execute all the commands are in the file and if we go to If we read all this is this is like a bunch of like read common analysis, and this is executed every time I open so all these aliases are executed and I can use them easy and One nice thing of kind of factoring this out is that Even if either if I'm using buzzer and using c-sates, I can also I have also my kind of a Finishing my chc. It's kind of same here. I also searching the same analysis So I have to kind of copy them or I have referenced them both from the same place And What else? Yeah, and next thing we can do we can go to that kind of temporary folder. We have created and we can see the like Kind of in the last class there were a bunch of stuff How we kind of buzzed it and like we also mentioned they're like these all ourselves that kind of are slightly more convenient Because they have like a bunch of useful features like Without you having kind of to define a bunch of stuff The one I'm going to be covering right now only like a couple of things kind of good Okay, you cannot look in for where can you get all the stuff is c-sates Which is now because it's kind of a super set of buzz or everything's kind of kind of Works in bus or read works right away with c-sates some some cells don't work that way and But it has some we can maybe for example be let's make I'm creating here like a couple folders let's See into them And now let's create for example here when I'm where I'm creating creating four files so piece for father is created And by least the structure right now I have a folder called v and a folder called c and all these txt files We saw that globing could be really useful if I wanted to kind of get all these txt files It's kind of a really new kind of that they are there. They can just do something like this And like it will expand that to all things, but let's say I don't really know they're there We recommend to kind of have like a wild card for like an entire path And that's what like c-sates gives you like the the double-access with double-access this thing expands to the same page And another really convenient feature of c-sates is that like you can Let's say it's in blue because kind of telling me that I can't expand this right away in the cell I'm kind of having to wait for For for for the cell to do that and That's also convenient because some some here doesn't really matter Matt In some other cases, it's very just for example if you're using kind of the bang bang wild card that Eh, that's replacing the entire first comment here And sometimes it's good to kind of see the entire thing because Bad by default when you're kind of substituting substitutes and run the command at the same time And points we can do We have also c-sates by default kind of looks Like for example if I just do like something like this It figures out kind of the intermediate folders Yes by trying all of them and another convenient thing It's a Allow you that completion allow you kind of to select the the things that that you're using And Oh, and like if you enable it it also kind of be you a Proper out and like type a comment that doesn't really exist A lot of the time we'll tell you kind of oh you you mistype this part of the comment Do you want to kind of for me to correct lls with ls? Which is also extremely convenient. Especially if you have like a really long comment and it figures out the correct like mistake and Moreover, not only don't like a lot of it's not like it's like the Small convenient things that like these different cells come for you But a lot of people have a really invested a huge amount of time on making like significant frameworks that give you like quality Like a improvement A lot of them have already been seen because they're kind of working by default but for example if If I'm moving to this folder. Oh one thing that I forgot about c-sates along with the Left prompt gives you like a right prompt you can also like put the status I think that you can also customize So for example here, I'm using fresco, which is kind of one of the c-sates frameworks. There are many more like And again, it's kind of a c-sates Packets installer. There's also all my c-sates, which is pretty famous And become computer with a lot of stuff that you can customize and I like don't the sort of history You can get like a stuff for example here. It knows that I'm few yourself. This is like a Repository in doesn't meet the brands that I mean And the dust release tells me that there is like some modified file on the square doesn't reach like some untracked file so it speak of meaning to gather Other quality lives things that gives you for example the thing that you were like I was saying before Since it gives you spell correction a lot of these things give you syntax So they are kind of all they go Figuring out if like what I'm typing is kind of a valid comma and if not, they're kind of like highlighting in red Like oh, this comma doesn't exist. You may be You may want to fix that but like says he has Here for example, he's telling me kind of I just control c Was typing For example, if I try to Garbage into any file This means the error code of one because grab gives you an error code of one when it doesn't find a thing And which is what we saw the The last time Interaction margin for you And It's kind of giving you all for example if you didn't even provide an argument You cannot be Ever like error code too. So you can like you can customize how like a lot of what you will be seen And it's fairly convenient because it removes some steps in the long run. That's fairly useful Some more other stuff. Oh, yeah, for example, let's say I don't really know the flag for Which is like something we have heard and really know that one of the I don't remember fully well, like one of the flags for Griffith this thing can kind of give you the Access to like it brings you passes the man page and give you like a sort description of all the flag without going to go to the To the man page with depending on the command It can be more less scary because it's like a lot of detail that you need to go to and Oh, yeah, another thing this is slightly more Trigging though sometimes I have like issues in the past for example here You can see that like when I'm typing stuff it's kind of auto completing in like being gray And that's kind of because it's already doing some sort of control art in the background I'm like matching with my previous history and I kind of kind of like right away do much Of that would be with the previous values and easily out to complete on that A Oh, and a lot of them if you don't really like machine with the onset of it where you have the screen But there's like a lot of them come with like default sometimes in same front So you want to me maybe for example, that's Where I keep a single one And this is one there are many just look around like be aware of like all of these cool stuff exists Next Next thing is like right now when you're using yourself like the cell is something kind of half of the equation The other half is kind of the terminal emulator. It's like program that is running the cell that you're really using So my default pretty much all like unit distribution come with like some Emulator, but you might want to kind of use a different one because they offer different support Some of them have their own rendering or some of them have like their key binding So like the way and even if you just like choose the one that comes with default with your distribution Which sometimes can be pretty terrible. For example, like you can spend time, but for example the The one for mac I've never kind of like it and There are like many parameters that you can customize The font that you're using you can customize the color scheme that you're using which for example my default here man you don't have a color scheme and Again, but all over time the stuff is it's fairly useful to know Uh, even performance like newer terminals are like offloading some of the surface of rendering to you kind of the GPU and they like run the super fast Another thing that you might want to be aware of is pmox, which is kind of a terminal multiplexer, which is You can run multiple cells within kind of the same terminal window and you need to be opening kind of multiple terminal windows to just run multiple Taps I can just have like several tabs within the same terminal window. I can It's gonna be really good because this is to be by kind of kind of split and We're running kind of a stop in here. I want to display this because the box to be and One of the really nice things of terminal multiplexer like pmox is that you can Detach it and it still runs In in the background so I can go on with my life And then I can just like jump back into kind of this layout of Of pain some down have happened and I can modify three months A lot of the stuff that is happening in here For example, I don't know if I have Levels are open Eh, there's like You can and again, for example, if you open your windows of pmox and you open it have like this really Placid green bar the bottom of the file like no information, but you can go into the into The pmox configuration file which is Just again See you can just compute like a bunch of this stuff to your life into this place kind of the CPU The detail of How the scroll happens what happens when you copy that's what one thing to really investigate with all of these tools is Having access to the to the game format Again, like making your life easy, you don't have to be kind of typing commands into being Being for example all this stuff for you The other reason the terminal multiplex servers are really handy is if you're running a server, for example in the background You can open up two tabs in pmox and have the server running in one and the client in the other And then whenever you switch back and forth between the two the other one keeps running And you can still get to the output if you switch to the other one And you can even like run a server and then detach it like what I will do with I have a server in the Netherlands I will like ssh to that machine open up tmax tmox on that machine start some server there. That's like Scanning the internet for something or whatever Detach an entirely disconnect from that ssh session And then later on like a few days later I can ssh back to the server and then Reattach tmox and then everything appears including any output that's been in between just as if I'd been connected all along So yeah, that's exactly for example here This is one of my last servers that have like jobs running and I have like some tmax session There is open and I can always kind of reattach to it without having Recreate and it's kind of easier. You can always we kind of saw like the first day You can like be some your process into the background. So you have kind of hiding the terminal and just be back into it is way more convenient And Any questions so far What's the bugging that used to do uh, like The what's right?  Oh, yeah, that that stuff, uh, it comes by default on the fish shell Yes, so The thing you want to be looking for is history something cert which as John said was kind of I think was originally Created in the face. I'm pretty much all of the other cells top in it because it's So like if you're using to do some of you and I think Will you post on your I think all of us are already on the top. Yeah, if you just look maybe have But yeah, we will post them somewhere And Next Then another thing to be aware of is that like a lot of the It was more kind of on the general cell way But then a lot of the time what we've been doing is running a small way It's more common that the really simple stuff can be like quite dark like for example, let's say I want to go to my Few competition pieces from was a measure. Uh, I need to kind of even with like nice title competition gets Really annoying pretty fast to kind of like into Some random polar However, if I have a read in there, there's like one thing that is usually referred to kind of just auto down It's a huge time save, but it does it does Fuzzy stream matching Fuzzy stream matching just tries to max that like not like red or not like regular special which usually just tries Find like the better maps with different Inwards and here if I you do like something like PCE piece of five it will take me to the exact same place And what this column is doing is just keeping It's just keeping like a history of like all the places that have been Frequently and recently and this is scoring them. So for example, I've been working a lot in the kind of the repo for the class So these have like a really high value. So if even if I do something like That directly takes me to that place and You can not only like this Auto jump there like certain limitations the one that I'm using which is called f asd Also allows you to have like commands that instead of doing the cd just kind of Give you the part for example um I can Eh So for example, if I do something like this and I've been working on a file that is called online Which is going to be the one for this class It already kind of expanded this thing because I have been using it recently and kind of drops me with vm into it and Eh Moreover, you can like kind of combine this. Oh, well, I will get to this like later when I go to the next thing Eh Similarly, if if you're using Eh Let's see if you are using Think I don't like that for this. Yeah, for example here like bad is kind of like a replacement of I forgot ranger yet and the other thing is if for navigating folders Eh, the other thing that is worth knowing about is like a ranger or something along those lines Like sometimes if you want to be exploring like some Files system quickly, but you don't want to be doing with the files for it. You can still have like A common line explorer that will do for you that like many like And a lot of them also kind of allow you to customize them to make a display videos or like open with your default editor stuff like that The other thing that I was showing If you're adding files all the time, you're pretty good in like the files that are like all files And it's nice having I don't know if we have here Like it's nice having kind of syntax highlight in the Let's just go for a little bit like numbers in the And But for example, as I said earlier if I do if I do Some of these files I get back So it's pretty useful. A lot of these tools that I'll be showing sometimes they try to follow kind of the tool They are replacing the closest like all the flags similarly. So sometimes it's Tempting to kind of replace them and it's good to kind of how to undo the alias if you need to Similarly, there is like one whole exa which is kind of a replacement for less That has slightly saner defaults like for example when you do LS minus L It gives you the raw amount of like a bytes Like if you're thinking of like last five is just Your brain stops understanding how many numbers are there And this one for example tells you cannot Decide like in kilobyte or megabyte. There's no megabyte here You know, it's likely more convenient to color coding for the permissions And also knows about like gif so you can escape files Like that Yeah, uh, next thing if you're trying like fine So fine is like a tool that like albic It's really convenient. You just it will go through your File hierarchy and like use a different flag. So you you can say oh, I want Things that have some name But things fine can get if you kind of go through the map and find Sometimes it is really very close and and doesn't understand for example that most of the time you don't want to um You don't want to be finding like files in your gif Like files are in the in the hidden folder of your gif repository. You know, there is so if we cannot by default Algorithm knows that the most likely thing you want to do is a like search for the pattern Which is fine. That's not and then understand A lot of like this hidden path that you don't you don't want to be looking around For example, if I do every hacker goes through all my directory and like quickly find like like harder tools which is like the repository for the class and to make the The case for that if I do like a V and I come the Number of lines that sprints is like if I run it is just printing all the files that it finds because I didn't specify any pattern if I count the number of lines that is outputting like Which is a lot and you saw like how fast it was able to go through them But if I do the same thing with mine Due to all this hidden file that you may get if you work with a repository is like three times the many times And also with find if you want to try to do a search for a given file name It's like find dot dash i name. Yeah Percent the search term percent and you have to remember to quote it. It's awful Something like this Yeah, I like star pattern star and double code Right, except find not Oh, by the way, uh control a jumps to the start of the current line and control e jumps to the end It's a very convenient way of moving back and forth without having to go to the home and end keys and Similarly, if you want to instead of finding what you want to do is grabbing like 59,000 files They are better tools than they are doing something like you can always do something that like like find and then like grab or like if I Or you guys you can do grab this idea You can do like grab But they are like slightly more convenient tools that are like game have figure out a cleaner syntax standard holds Also, you know, there's like all these files in here and you're getting out. So one thing that I do a lot of the time is Let's say I I know that like in some point I I cannot roll some Python script, but I use like the supracest.go Function so I can easily use this tool which is regret feeling it. I want only files that like end In the with a high extension and I have the supracest.go call so And it kind of goes through this 59,000 files and gives me like all these folders that I have These are all these files that I have and the line where it found this pattern So especially when you're like in python or like late, like I find myself all the time using this So like oh, yeah, I know this is somewhere search for a pattern and like you're always having a game instead of Going to Google and to really learn all this stuff like over here. That's a point a Also, if instead of doing kind of you find yourself doing something like oh, let's do a ps all and let's First a process in there and Let's say you start like doing some You're at sleep and Like but then But like but if you find yourself cutting many reps or like redoing reps all over the time one really need the tool is fcf which again, like it stands for like passing finder And but fcf does it's kind of like a grip on the go so it's Kind of matching like lately, but it's kind of figuring out on the go the stuff That you want and You can kind of couple these with like other tools. So you can do something like fb into fcf So now I can like do for style like matters Hacker for like And you can even link it to kind of the the same thing that I mentioned earlier That like always sells all you to customize them one thing that I've done is the control r instead of the default is calling this script I'm doing like facifining on my On my history. So if I want to like search for like Like recent reps telling me like all these places and it will drop in there while Another convenient one is that like when you When you are in something It's for it like it's unless unless you Miss and it didn't work rent deletes the file for However, that's not really what like your file explorer that when you think it's not it usually moves it into like this Like drafts, but like it's here every so often But it's letting me forgive you because if you cannot Forget like oh, like let me try it like it's not like a good backup strategy But like it's good to kind of have like that piece of mind that you can completely delete the file And again a lot of people have like implemented a thing that does exactly that like The different os's kind of have like different commands because different os's handle the trust different But if I trust now the This c folder If I trust now this folder Eh Now I can see that instead of being completely removed Is now sitting into the trust And which is exactly the os folder that is here Yeah What else Oh another another convenient one to know is like month pages are extremely helpful like if you can again if you can do like man fine And there is a lot of detail that you can go through and like if you are looking for something technical, that's wonderful But a lot of the time at least like I experience that it's way easier to kind of see some examples and kind of figure out like the basic or like 99% usage of pokemon and there are like some tools for like people kind of have done One like oh Oh, it's just because the size of the Of the thing by what this is doing is just kind of giving you kind of the Basic usages like people have just written this kind of small examples Of really common commands and instead of kind of figuring out or like moving Have like oh if I want to do some case insensitive right away and Many many times I saw metal just using something like this And In fact almost all the tools you've mentioned so far are written in rust Oh, yeah, like fd exa ripcred tldr fcf And that's that's also because But that's that's one thing and that's also for a reason like One thing you want to be doing when you're using all these things is you don't want to kind of Uh Become another yourself because it's going slow and a lot of these tools are in the rust because rust is Incredibly fast compared to kind of doing stuff like in bass or like in python Like someone will come out with some pretty pretty script, but it will be done in python and be really extremely slow So one thing you want to be careful about is not installing a lancestot that you really need that slows yourself because Again, like if you're using just all the time and it's kind of slow Not anymore Uh, what do we have? Oh another another extremely convenient one which saw one of these famous Oh I don't know if that's really interesting but like it's really difficult to kind of figure out what the What the What the Like you're gonna have to unpack a lot of stuff. There is this It's for example here. I have just created this compress the target is new this year and Thing is there's like a lot of plugs and if you want to uncompress it, you kind of have to figure out that at least I Like But then it just becomes really convenient Because you can ignore it is a tar a safe arar you do something like unpack or like this thing Someone has a really kind of big thing open pattern matching and it works Like also never ever like the unpack stuff in your working directory right now You always creates a new one. So you don't have to kind of do that like oh, I just think just explore it in my repo And I have to kind of figure out how to really load all these files And Any question so far Oh, yeah, also when you're copying a lot of files Either over the net you can use these are in the in your local file You can use cp or like over the net you can use scp Thing is both are kind of stupid and like if the files are already there They copy them again And that's like a lot of time you are like sinking a lot of files or like a really large file Really stupid it should be looking into our scene, which I think it ships by default with most unique systems And this thing will figure out the files already there You can also like give them like flags like partial But like if you're transferring huge files and the like connection breaks halfway We'll figure out. Oh, I like this. I have all these chunks already. I can continue from here Um Think of course pretty much All the stuff I wanted to say we are on the 50 minute mark Uh, again, happy to take in In that case, we'll take a tenor break and then we'll do data wrangling Just gonna be insane, man. It's gonna be crazy. I'm excited
