Gitkraken autoupdates, and this cannot be turned off in the UI. This would not be a problem, were it not that I am using it on a managed device that does not trust Gitkraken's code signing. As a result of this, Gitkraken randomly stops working when restarted until I set aside time to sideload it again.
Is there a way that I can discover how Gitkraken is phoning home to look for updates, so I can block that from happening (e.g., blocking a host in my firewall)?
Working on macOS, if that helps.
You can use fiddler to monitor your web traffic. I have not used it on macOS, but they offer a cross-os version https://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler-everywhere
From there you can run a network capture to see all of the network calls gitkraken is making. It looks like gitkraken is making 2 API calls, one to api.gitkraken.com and one to gloapi.gitkraken.com
If you wanted to block the updated call, blocking one of these two calls with a firewall rule (or through some other method) should accomplish your goal.
For Windows.
Actually the crack work only on gitkraken version 7.5.5.
Install gitkraken 7.5.5 and crack it. After that, go to the directory " C:\Users\rakot\AppData\Local\gitkraken " and remove the file " update " cause whenever you open gitkraken it execute the update entry.
Execute gitkraken with the file in " C:\Users\rakot\AppData\Local\gitkraken\app-7.5.5\gitkraken.exe " (you can create a shortcut of it) beacause all the shortcut created by default won't work.

I see that there are way to Get Get-AppxPackage or Remove Remove-AppxPackage UWP app from windows 10 using PowerShell.
I am wondering if there is a way to reset a UWP app? I require it for automated testing, I would rather reset the UWP app than uninstall and install again, as that would slow down the testing.
If you're looking to clear your package's ApplicationData then you want
appdata = Windows.Management.Core.ApplicationDataManager.CreateForPackageFamily(pkgfamilyname)
appdata.ClearAsync()
See MSDN for ApplicationDataManager.CreateForPackageFamily() and .ClearAsync()
Powershell has no 'await' affordance last time I looked (though it's been a while) so not so viable. If you're looking to muck with applicationdata you may find APPDATA.EXE handy. You can probably guess why I wrote it... :P For instance
APPDATA.EXE Clear foo.bar_1234567890abc
If you're looking to reset a package to its initially installed state, then no, there is no API other than uninstall + install
Remove-AppxPackage foo.bar_1.2.3.4_x86__1234567890abc
Add-AppxPackage foobar.msix
Settings' Reset option for an installed package essentially does that just slightly more efficiently. You're still going thru the full deregister and uninstall the package and then install and register it for the user so it may not be instantaneous. But that's the only way to truly reset a package to its initial state. Windows has various forms of user data associated with a package (ApplicationData, IndexDB, more) as well as system state cribbed and wired up when a package is installed for a user (what is the package, where's it live, that the user has it, that it's status is not tampered or otherwise unhealthy, more). The only way to truly 'reset' that to the initial state is a full remove then add.
If you just need to wipe appdata then .ClearAsync is the ticket.
I am not aware of any command that would do that for you (except for the UI available in Settings app). However, you may write a PowerShell script that would clear up the application data files in the app's folder (this is not an official solution, but seems to work based on my trials).
Go to
C:\Users\{your_username}\AppData\Local\Packages\
And find your app's folder there. There are several folders containing the application state.
The nuclear option is to just delete all the folders. Then the app will crash once on startup, then the system will automatically reset it and restore the folders.
The less invasive option I have now tried seems to be to keep the folders and just delete their content, except for the AC folder, which seems to be system protected. When I tried this with my app, it launched successfully without crashing and system recreated the state files anew on its own.
The rest of application files lives in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps, but those are just application DLLs and content files and are read-only, so they should not affect the app state at all.
You may want to perform additional deletion if you use a shared publisher folder.
For windows 10 build 2004+ there seems to be a powershell command Reset-AppxPackage now.
UPDATE
My mistake, it is available from version 20175 onward. So, should be available in 20H2.
I am mostly editing files remotely in VSCode, and have tried several sftp extensions. ftp-sync has been the best so far, but there is one nagging problem that hopefully someone has solved: Upload-on-save is great and works perfectly, but I'd like to Download-on-open also (with bonus points for warning if the file is different). I sometimes edit the remote files on the remote server, and because there's no check in vscode on open, it's easy to lose those changes. Anyone run into this and have suggestions for a different extension that works this way?
A recent release on March 19th of https://github.com/liximomo/vscode-sftp has added support for this functionality with downloadOnOpen. It works perfectly for my use case (if there's an updated version of the file on the server, download and use that). The UX is a little rough still, but will surely improve over time.
If you're using git locally, there's very little chance of losing local changes, so this works perfectly for the case where you want to edit and manage files locally, but stay in sync per-file with a remote ssh/sftp server.
Look into the Remote VSCode plugin. It doesn't do FTP-like navigation, but if you use SSH, you can tunnel an editing session over the connection into VSCode pretty easily. It felt a little wonky at first, but I use this plugin constantly. As I work across a fleet of a few hundred servers, this option made a lot more sense than trying to set up some of those "deploy" plugins for each host.
Check This Extension on VSCode.Its really awesome.
Remote WorkSpace
I apologize if this is not the right place to ask such question, but I'm at my wit's end since Embarcadero's forum won't allow me to post any question there.
I have enabled the "Deploy" feature in the C++ Builder IDE, to test out about the depending dll & bpl files of my application, when I'm done, I found myself trapped in an annoying state - I can't perform any debugging without connected to a remote pc (with their PAServer)! This is causing a HUGE problem for me as I will not be able to debug my application if I'm away from the office, i.e. I'm on a field service at my client's place or at home.
I tried deleting the deployment profile, but it just get recreated every-time I compile my project and there is a DEPLOY command upon running compiling and running the source code. I have to wait until the connection attempt to the remote pc time-out to continue testing the application by manually clicking the .exe of my application.
Is there any way to turn off the "Deploy" feature so that I can do debugging on my local machine just as before activating the "Deploy" feature?
I've found out where the profile was hiding and deleted it, now I can debug as usual.
In the Rad Studio help:
ms-help://embarcadero.rs_xe5/rad/Connection_Profile_Manager.html
On occasion, I have this same problem with DelphiXE5 (where the problem is that I forget how to get back to the default environment without losing my remote settings.)
Remote Deploy active:
The Revert option for the normal build/debug environment:
And finally, the previous Remote Deploy settings available via the same Target Platform context menu (i.e., Properties):
The Default Connection isn't something to be setup. To the contrary, it's really not a connection at all. The Revert... menu item essentially means Revert to local build & debug.
I'm using Eclipse to develop a website, and I don't want to run Apache, PHP, and MySQL on my local computer. I already have a remote Linux server set up to do that. What I want though, is every time I save a file, Eclipse should upload that file to the Linux server. Dreamweaver does an absolutely perfect job at this task, but I prefer many other features in Eclipse.
I am well aware that there are many, many posts on Stack Overflow about this topic. I have reviewed them, but none seem to quite meet my needs. I'll go through all the possibilities I know about, and talk about why they're not quite right:
Aptana - I specifically excluded this in the question's title. Yes, it does what I'm asking for, but if you install it as an Eclipse plugin, it totally takes over your Eclipse. I only want this one feature, not the whole 800-pound gorilla that changes everything.
Remote System Explorer - I want the primary version to be on my hard drive, not the remote server. This is because I want faster file open, and code completion.
GIT or SVN - When I see other people ask this question on Stack Overflow, someone usually answers "use Git or SVN." Well, I'm already using Git. When I want to sync the entire project, and not just iterate on one file, I will do it using Git. But standalone Git is way too slow if all you want to do is see your changes working. I also don't want to see hundreds of meaningless commits. PTP, mentioned below, is a little better and a little faster, but not fast enough.
PTP - This is an Eclipse plugin that not too many people seem to know about. It has the ability to sync a local folder and a remote folder using Git, and it can do it automatically every time you hit save. This is absolutely awesome, but unfortunately a little slow. When I hit save in Dreamweaver, the change is uploaded to the server in less than one second. The PTP Git operation takes 10 seconds on a tiny project, and I bet that wait gets larger with a larger project. I'm a huge believer in super-fast iteration, and all that PTP waiting will really slow me down.
WebDAV and FTP support for Eclipse - It seems like this is no longer actively developed.
FileSync - Pretty neat, but only supports local filesystem folders.
Are there any other options that I've overlooked? Or are my requirements so specific that there's nothing that fits me right. It seems like there would be other people who want exactly the same thing.
This is my suggestion and it is not quick way to do this, but very customizable.
In eclipse you can set external tools.That means, you can set a php/java script file as external program and send some params that eclipse gives you(${resource_loc} ${project_name} ${resource_path}).
So with script file you can login to SSH or FTP or what ever you want and sync your file or project with remote system.
Just in External Tools Configuration window in eclipse you must set Location to /usr/bin/php
and in Arguments, you can set script path with eclipse variables as script args.
At last you should assign some short key to external program IF Possible.
Did you consider set up Samba server on your Linux and work on you local computer but store project in remote directory served by Samba from Linux or use mentioned FileSync to sync local working directory with network directory (which for Windows look like local and thus FileSync should work).
Or Dropbox?
Edited:
You are constrained heavily I see. Maybe you have on remote host rsync? You could write small utility to manage if your local folder changed (for Windows: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365261(v=vs.85).aspx) and then synchronize folders with rsync via ssh (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-rsync-to-sync-local-and-remote-directories-on-a-vps). This would be completely independent from Eclipse.
you can have a try with CodeSync #github (I write it)
or this one

Now I am in 2021, and most of the above methods cannot work at all.
Finally, I find a small plugin in Eclipse that is very easy to upload the files (may be not auto-load, but is very easy).
Install the "Alibaba Cloud Toolkit" plugin in Eclipse Marketplace;
Using the right-click "deploy" item to deploy the selected files/directory to the remote directory.
There is also a problem. In my eclipse, the inside Terminal is blank (for all terminals including local terminal and SSH terminal), the blank terminal
But the terminal in RSE is ok.
The terminal in RSE
I also tried to uninstall Alibaba Cloud Toolkit, CDT, TM Terminal, etc.
But the inside terminal does not work anymore.
So I use the terminal in RSE now and put its view, as I just want to run my code on the remote server.
I'm trying to develop a little toy PHP project, and the most convenient location to run it is on a shared host I happen to have for my ill-maintained blog. The problem with this is that I have no way to run Subversion on this shared host, nor do I even have SSH access to be able to access an external repository from the host. Had I been thinking straight a few months ago when the hosting was up for renewal, I probably should have paid a couple extra bucks to switch to something a bit better, but for now I can't justify throwing money at having a second host just for side projects.
This means that a working copy of my project would need to be checked out to my laptop, while the project itself would need to be uploaded to the shared host to run. My best option seems to be creating a virtual machine running Linux and developing everything from in there, but I know from past experience that the extra barrier that creates, small though it may be, is enough that it puts me off firing the VM up just to do a couple minutes work to make some minor change I just thought up. I'd much prefer to just be able to fire up my editor and get to work.
While I'd imagine I'm not the first to encounter such a problem, I haven't had much success finding a solution online. Perhaps there isn't one beyond the VM or "manual mirroring" options, but if there is I'd expect StackOverflow to be the place to find it.
Edit: There's some confusion, it seems, so let me attempt to clarify. The shared host here is basically my dev server, but it has no svn or ssh. In other words, I can svn checkout to my laptop, but I can't run that on my shared host. Similarly, I can run/test my code on the shared host, but I can't do that on my laptop (well, I technically could, but it's Windows, and I don't want to worry about Win-vs.-Linux differences with PHP, since I do want this to become public at some point, and it will certainly be Linux-based at that point).
You might consider writing a post-commit hook to automatically upload the code to your host, so that any time you commit a change, a script executes that:
Checks out a copy of the code into a temporary directory
Uploads that code via FTP (or whatever your preferred method is) to the shared host
Cleans up after itself, optionally informing you via e.g. email when the transfer is successful
Subversion makes enough information available to these scripts at runtime that you could get more sophisticated and opt only to upload the files that changed or alter behavior based on specific property changes, for instance, but for a small project the brute force "copy it all" approach should be fine.
