Update notebook and clean up the folder I also forget to add the additional solutions from the Exercism exercises. Whoops... I'm also getting used to storing code in random places. Time to change that habit a little bit by storing them in my notebook, instead. Nothing wrong with that, yeah?!

Make the command line notes consistent Just the title anyways. It makes easier to find aside from the file name and also makes it clear in case I refer to them from other documents.

Update notebook as of 2021-11-06 - Some updates to pacman as I'm going to trying to use Open Build Service which apparently has support for publishing Arch Linux packages. Pretty nice! - Starting to take more notes for Git as I use it beyond the simple commit and push workflow. I mostly use it to create patches for packaging other applications. - Updates for Drawabox.

The all-time favorite client-side networking tool for basic stuff.
It is seriously one of the best free and open-source tool out there with the plethora of protocols, leading implementation for various protocols such as HTTP3, and a lot of configurable options to fully control your request.
* Synopsis
#+begin_src
curl [option...] [URL...]
#+end_src
cURL supports creating requests with different protocols.
Among them are HTTP, Gopher, DICT, and simple file.
To see more, you can view the cURL manual page (i.e., ~man curl.1~) and see the protocols section.
* Options
- =-o [FILE], --output [FILE]= - save the results in the given file
- =-O, --remote-name= - save the results as the remote name; useful for downloading

- =-L, --location= - if there redirects, follow them; mainly used in HTTP and download links that often redirects to the real location

* Examples
This is a massive tool with a massive history so a massive list may be justified for this one.
** Basic usage
#+begin_src bash
# It will be recognized as a request to an HTTP endpoint in 'gnu.org'.
curl https://gnu.org
# Save the result in a file.
curl https://foo-dogsquared.github.io --output filename
#+end_src
** Go-to command for downloading files with cURL
#+begin_src bash
curl -LO https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/lac/lac18/h264-hd/lac18-24-eng-Carla_Plugin_Host_-_Feature_overview_and_workflows_hd.mp4
#+end_src
It can be also written like the following code block.
Useful when scripting to make it readable.
#+begin_src bash
curl --location --output-name https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/lac/lac18/h264-hd/lac18-24-eng-Carla_Plugin_Host_-_Feature_overview_and_workflows_hd.mp4
#+end_src
