Line Insertion Utility

This Python utility provides two functions for inserting lines into configuration files:

insert_lines
regex_insert_lines

These functions allow for precise and flexible modification of text files, particularly useful for updating configuration files in networking and system administration tasks.

insert_lines: Inserts specified lines into a file before or after a line that starts with a given string.

Inspired by: Add Git Branch Name to Terminal Prompt

I have a two line zsh prompt:

line 1: current-directory [git branch]
line 2: hostname HH:MM:SS $

In my .zshrc file:

Change Terminal Transparency in MacOS Sonoma

CONFIGURING GORELEASER TO BUILD HOMEBREW BINARIES

In .github/workflows/release.yml file:

        uses: goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v6
        env:
 HOMEBREW_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.HOMEBREW_TOKEN }}

	* A C implementation that mimics Perl's 'chomp' functionality.
	* Reads from standard input and outputs all characters except the trailing newline.
	* Preserves internal newlines but removes only the final newline if present.
	* Compile with: gcc -O2 -o chomp chomp.c

	# This script starts a one-off HTTPS server using OpenSSL.
	# It generates a temporary self-signed SSL certificate and private key,
	# then uses OpenSSL's s_server command to serve files from the current directory
	# over an encrypted HTTPS connection on port 4443.
