### Kill all background jobs
`kill $(jobs -p)`

### Run unit-testing and time all procedures
`pytest --durations=0`

### Profiling of unittests
```
$ python -m cProfile -o profile $(which py.test)

$ python -m cProfile -o profile $(which py.test) tests/script.py::particular_module
```
Afterwards, in python
```python
import pstats
import sys

with open('readable_format.txt', 'w') as stream:
    stats = pstats.Stats('profile', stream=stream)
    stats.print_stats()
```

### Test only a particular module (with printouts)
```
pytest --capture=sys script.py::particular_module
```

### Pull changes from another branch and sync with my own

Get the base branch:
```
$ git checkout v1
```

Pull in any changes to make sure you have the latest version
```
git pull
```

Check out your branch
```
git checkout v1_adminui
```

Rebase your changes on top of the v1 changes
```
git rebase v1
```

Optionally push your rebased branch
```
git push origin v1_adminui
```

### Undo the last commit (while keeping the changes with `--soft`)
```
$ git reset --soft HEAD~1
```

### Timing parts of a program
```python
import logging
import time

time_array,chunk_description = list(), list()

time_array.append(time.time())
...
time_array.append(time.time())
chunk_description.append('DimMpMkUser')
...
for i in range(len(chunk_description)):
    if time_array[i+1]-time_array[i]>1.0:
        logging.warning(chunk_description[i])
        logging.warning('Time needed: {}'
            .format(time_array[i+1]-time_array[i]))
```
### Use `pytest-profile` to profile a single test
Install via
```
$ pip install pytest-profiling
```
and then run by
```
$ py.test tests/script.py::particular_module --profile
```
### Create Symlink in Linux
On terminal
```
ln -s /folderorfile/link/will/point/to /name/of/the/link
```
