Revert codes in multiple GIT repos by only removing changes to particular Change Request

 To revert changes in multiple Git repositories by removing the modifications related to a particular Change Request (CR) or pull request, you can follow these general steps:


1. **Identify the CR/Pull Request**:

   You need to identify the specific CR or pull request that you want to revert. Note down the CR/PR number or identifier.


2. **Clone the Repositories**:

   Clone the Git repositories that contain the changes you want to revert. Make sure you have access to these repositories.


3. **Checkout a New Branch**:

   In each repository, create a new branch where you'll make the changes to revert the CR. This keeps your `main` or `master` branch intact.


   ```bash

   git checkout -b revert-CR123

   ```


   Replace `CR123` with the actual CR/PR identifier.


4. **Revert the Changes**:

   Use the `git revert` command to create a new commit that undoes the changes introduced by the CR.


   ```bash

   git revert <commit-SHA>

   ```


   `<commit-SHA>` should be the commit hash associated with the changes introduced by the CR. You may need to revert multiple commits if the CR spans several commits.


5. **Push the Changes**:

   After reverting the changes, push the new branch to the repository.


   ```bash

   git push origin revert-CR123

   ```


6. **Create a Pull Request**:

   In the respective repositories, create a pull request (or equivalent, depending on your Git platform) for the new branch. This will allow you to review and merge the changes.


7. **Review and Merge**:

   Review the changes in the pull request and, if everything looks good, merge the changes into the `main` or `master` branch.


8. **Repeat for Other Repositories**:

   Repeat these steps for each repository that contains changes related to the CR.


By following these steps, you can revert the changes introduced by a specific CR in multiple Git repositories. Keep in mind that this approach assumes that you have access to and permissions for the repositories in question. Additionally, consider communication with your team if this is a collaborative effort, as others may be affected by the changes.

bad character U+002D '-' in my helm template

 In Helm templates, the hyphen character (`-`) can sometimes be treated as a reserved character, particularly when defining values or labels. To include a hyphen character in a Helm template without issues, you can use one of the following approaches: 1. **Quoting the Hyphen:**    You can enclose the hyphen in double quotes, like this:    ```yaml    key: "-"    ```    This way, Helm will interpret the hyphen as a string rather than an operator. 2. **Using Backticks:**    If you need to use the hyphen within a Go template function or inside backticks, you can escape it with a backslash (`\`), like this:    ```yaml    value: `{{ .Values.someField | printf "%s \\-" }}`    ```    The backslash prevents Helm from interpreting the hyphen as a special character. 3. **Variable Assignment:**    Assign the value to a variable and use it. For example:    ```yaml    {{- $hyphen := "-" }}    key: {{ $hyphen }}    ```    This way, you can use the variable `$hyphen` wher

GitLab pipeline stopped working with invalid yaml error

 When your GitLab pipeline has stopped working with an "invalid YAML" error, it means there's a problem with your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. This could be due to syntax errors, incorrect indentation, or other issues in your pipeline configuration. Here's how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Check for Syntax Errors**:    Carefully review your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for any syntax errors. Common issues include missing colons, indentation problems, or mismatched quotation marks. Use a YAML linter or an online YAML validator to identify and correct syntax errors. 2. **Indentation**:    YAML relies heavily on proper indentation. Make sure that all lines within the same block have consistent indentation (typically using spaces, not tabs). Incorrect indentation can cause YAML parsing errors. 3. **Dashes and Lists**:    Ensure that you use the correct syntax for lists (arrays) in YAML by starting each item with a dash (`-`). Be consistent with your use of dashes throug

How do I add a printer in OpenSUSE which is being shared by a CUPS print server?

 To add a printer in openSUSE that is being shared by a CUPS print server, you can use the following steps: 1. **Ensure CUPS Client is Installed:**    Make sure your openSUSE system has the CUPS client tools installed. You can install them using the following command:    ```bash    sudo zypper install cups-client    ``` 2. **Discover Available Printers:**    Use the `lpinfo` command to discover available printers on your CUPS print server. Replace `cups-server-hostname` with the hostname or IP address of your CUPS server:    ```bash    lpinfo -v -h cups-server-hostname:631    ```    This command should list the printers shared by the CUPS server. 3. **Add a Printer:**    Use the `lpadmin` command to add a printer. Replace `printer-name` with the name of the printer you want to add and `printer-uri` with the URI obtained from the `lpinfo` command:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v printer-uri    ```    For example:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v socket://cu
