How to create mirrored repositories and keep it synced?


To mirror the existing git repository (i.e, src-repo) into another git repository (i.e., dest-repo), follow the steps given below:
  1. Create a bash file and name it as mirror-sync-repo.sh
  2. Copy the below code and paste it in your bash file

  3. #!/usr/bin/bash
    SourceRepositoryURL=http://src-repo.gitserver1.domain
    DestinationRepositoryURL=http://dest-repo.gitserver2.domain
    SourceRepositoryDir=src-repo.git
    if [ ! -d $SourceRepositoryDir ] 
    then
    	git clone --mirror $SourceRepositoryURL
    	cd $SourceRepositoryDir
    	git remote add --mirror=fetch secondary $DestinationRepositoryURL
    	cd ..
    fi
    cd $SourceRepositoryDir
    git fetch origin
    git push secondary --all
    

  4. Modify the code by replacing pseudocode with the actual repository names and links
  5. Save the bash file
  6. Open the Terminal app and go to that folder where this bash file is present
  7. Execute the bash file on Terminal using sh mirror-sync-repo.sh command, you'll be asked to enter the username and password for both the repositories; just enter that and let it proceed
  8. One the execution is finished, both the repositories are mirrored and synced

Unlock protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7

Recently I'd been called by Hindalco's Fabrication Plant division to unlock the protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7. They were in need to unlock those blocks since an year because of 1 million Rupees of loss per month. They want to re-program those blocks but it was locked by the man who'd done the setup. From the people working in that department, I came to know that they were trying to call that man (someone from Italy) right here but he's not coming. Actually, what he'd done was that he'd locked some of the blocks and deleted the source file. And Siemens didn't provide any feature to unlock. Department people also told me that even the people working in Siemens don't know how to do it. Being a software engineer I know that any thing can be reverse engineered. So I took up the challenge. How did I unlocked the blocks? The first thing I'd done was searched about this software at Google and read about what is this software all about. Aft...

JS: The complete code example of Crypto.js (DES)

For one of the project I was trying to use crypto.js but I found that the Quick-start Guide have some deficiency in terms of library usage. So I am writing it here as a useful note for memory recap. <script src="http://crypto-js.googlecode.com/svn/tags/3.1.2/build/rollups/tripledes.js"></script> <script> var encrypted = CryptoJS.DES.encrypt("The secret message", "secret_key"); var e_msg = encrypted.toString(); console.log(e_msg); var decrypted = CryptoJS.DES.decrypt(e_msg, "secret_key"); var d_msg = decrypted.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8); console.log(d_msg); </script>

Openmeetings Widget Wordpress Plugin

One of my client asked me to create a Wordpress plugin, so the first thing I did was to search for any existing plugin on which I can work on. Luckily I found one. It was developed by Shuki Vaknin. You can visit his plugin at:  http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/openmeetings-integration-plugin-widget/ But I had little different requirement. So I modified the Shuki Vaknin's plugin. The modification is that every session has a unique username. I choose guest as default name while adding a timestamp along with guest keyword like guest34578689 .
