Launching iTerm2 from macOS Finder

(Based on info from Peter Downs' gitub but with modified behavior to open a new terminal window for each invocation instead of reusing an already open window.)

The following three ways to launch an iTerm2 window from Finder have been tested on iTerm2 version 3+ running on macOS Mojave+.

Code snippets used in the blog post series "Unlocking the Power of CameraX in Jetpack Compose". I will add snippets as blog posts are released!

Each file can be copied as-is to the MainActivity.kt of a new project. However, it doesn't include any library dependencies or adaptations to AndroidManifest.xml, so make sure to follow the steps in the blog posts themselves to get a working sample.

Docker on Lima (lima-vm/lima) Setup Guide

In recent months, Lima has become de facto standard software as a free and open source alternative to Docker Desktop for Mac. Several projects (such as Colima, Rancher Desktop, or Finch) for similar purpose also uses Lima as their backend. These projects will make it easier to set up Lima. But some people may not want to introduce extra components other than Lima. This guide will show you how to set up Lima to be alternative to Docker Desktop for Mac, while using Lima only.

🪣 Note. It is a good practice to uninstall Docker Desktop for Mac before proceeding with the following steps.

1. Install Lima and Docker CLI

To remove a submodule you need to:

Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule
