Description
- Let's assume that our history looks like this:
>>> git init myproject && cd myproject >>> touch Dockerfile \\ ... && echo 'FROM nginx' >> Dockerfile \\ ... && echo 'WORKDIR /usr/share/nginx/html/' >> Dockerfile \\ ... && echo 'RUN echo "<h1>Foo</h1>" > index.html' >> Dockerfile >>> docker build . -t last_build >>> docker run --rm -it -p 8080:80 last_buildWe created a Dockerfile, we built a docker image with it. Then we runned a container that uses this image.
Note:All these commands work, you can launch them on your shell and then seethe result from your browser at http://localhost:8080.If we decide to stop the container with Ctrl+C and recreate the same container, many shells offer to find and re-execute the last command by press 'Up Arrow' then 'Enter'. Otherwise, you can do the same thing by simply typing:
>>> rerunWe stop our container with Ctrl+C, we run the commands below to check that our container is no longer running:
>>> docker ps
- Let's add the Dockerfile to our project and then make our first commit:
>>> git add Dockerfile >>> git commit -am "create Dockerfile"- Now let's suppose that we need to modify the Dockerfile:
>>> echo 'RUN echo "<h1>Bar</h1>" >> index.html' >> Dockerfile- If we run
rerun list
orrerun ls
, We can see our history look like this:10: rerun ls 09: git init myproject && cd myproject 08: touch Dockerfile \
&& echo 'FROM nginx' >> Dockerfile \ && echo 'WORKDIR /usr/share/nginx/html/' >> Dockerfile \ && echo 'RUN echo "<h1>Foo</h1>" > index.html' >> Dockerfile07: docker build . -t last_build 06: docker run --rm -it -p 8080:80 last_build 05: rerun 04: docker ps 03: git add Dockerfile 02: git commit -am "create Dockerfile" 01: echo 'RUN echo "<h1>Bar</h1>" >> index.html' >> Dockerfile
- To see the result in our browser, we need to re-execute commands below:
>>> docker build . -t last_build >>> docker run --rm -it -p 8080:80 last_build- To do this, we just have to run:
>>> rerun 2 5- It means:
- "Restarts the two commands before the last five commands that have been
- executed."
If we want to see selected commands before and confirm their execution, we only need to add '--confirm' option:
>>> rerun 2 5 --confirm
- If we want to see and confirm execution of each command, we can do this:
>>> rerun 2 5 --confirm-eachLet's update our Dockerfile in our git branch, make another commit, then view and confirm results commands:
>>> rerun 2 -S 'git add' --replace create=update -c
- It means:
- "Restart the two commands from the first latest command starting with 'git add', replace all 'create' substrings by 'update' then show me the result and let me confirm execution"
- The commands to be executed should now look like this:
>>> git add Dockerfile >>> git commit -am "update Dockerfile"If instead we wanted to change the name of the Dockerfile by Mydockerfile, make a commit, then view and confirm commands, do:
>>> rerun 2 -c -S 'git add' \\ ... -R create=rename \\ ... -R 'add Dockerfile'='mv Dockerfile Mydockerfile'Note:You can use single/double quotes and even none with--replace
arguments. Just remember to escape quotes from your sub-chains.See examples below:>>> rerun --replace old="new">>> rerun --replace "For what it's worth"='Buffalo Springfield'>>> rerun --replace TVSeries='That\'s 70 Show'As you can see, you can replace as many substrings as you want. But, you can quickly find it tiring to make all these changes with the command line. You can use an editor with --edit instead of --replace:
- To use it, simply add the option --edit (or -e):
>>> rerun 2 -c -S 'git add' --editModify your text and quit the editor.
Warning:All comments are deleted when you exit the text editor.If you have not specified one, rerun use $RERUN_EDITOR as default editor. And $RERUN_EDITOR points directly to $EDITOR if you have not assigned a value to it. For example, if you want to use nano as default editor for rerun, add
$RERUN_EDITOR = nano
to your .xonshrc. Now let's imagine that we need to re-execute commands that have already been re-executed. Let's start by listing the commands:>>> rerun rerun list 4: docker run --rm -it -p 8080:80 last_build 3: docker build . -t last_build docker run --rm -it -p 8080:80 last_build 2: git add Dockerfile git commit -am "update Dockerfile" 1: git mv Dockerfile Mydockerfile git commit -am "rename Dockerfile"
- If you need to re-execute the last re-executed commands, just run:
>>> rerun rerun- Else, just specified index of commands:
>>> rerun rerun 3
Like the rerun command, you can use modifiers and confirm arguments like
--replace
,--edit
,--confirm
or--confirm-each
:>>> rerun rerun 3 -e nano -c
