The last few days:
- we have a commercial ssh bastion that requires direct ssh login and then input ip address. So no dns available for sshing. I wrote a bash autocomplete script that resolves dns host entries and uses expect to automatically input the ip in the bastion. This is especially important to be able to run ansible.
- our gitlab has it's ssh filtered because "security". So you can only use a security token over http. This prevents us from being able to use git submodukes, as the token would be in ckear commited to the parent rep. So I wrote a make file to compose the project, basically a poor man git submodules.
You might find all the above trivial, and it is. But it keeps the work flowing and devips more junior than I have no clue about make files, expect, etc.
