Tip of the week: Use openssl for quick-and-dirty file encryption
Example:
% echo "My plaintext file." > /tmp/file1.txt
# Using the default macOS LibreSSL (results in a binary file):
% openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in /tmp/file1.txt -out /tmp/file1.enc
% openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -in /tmp/file1.enc -out /tmp/file1.txt
# Using OpenSSL from Homebrew (results in a more secure, base64 text file):
% /usr/local/opt/openssl@3/bin/openssl enc -pbkdf2 -iter 100000 -aes256 -salt -base64 \
-in /tmp/file1.txt -out /tmp/file1.enc
% /usr/local/opt/openssl@3/bin/openssl enc -d -pbkdf2 -iter 100000 -aes256 -base64 \
-in /tmp/file1.enc -out /tmp/file1.txt

Tip of the week: Use awk to increment a semantic version number
Split the string by a period character, and $NF will represent the last segment of the version number. The output field separator is also set to a period character so the return string is in semver format. For example:
% echo "3.6" | awk -v FS=. -v OFS=. '{$NF++;print}'
3.7
% echo "3.6.13" | awk -v FS=. -v OFS=. '{$NF++;print}'
3.6.14
% echo "3.6.13" | awk -v FS=. -v OFS=. '{$(NF-1)++;print}'
3.7.13
% echo "3.6.13" | awk -F. '{$(NF-2)++;print $1}'

Tip of the week: Convert plist files on macOS to other formats with plutil:
For example:
# From binary format to json or xml:
plutil -convert json ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.Chrome.plist -o ~/com.google.Chrome.json
plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.Chrome.plist -o ~/com.google.Chrome.xml
# Back to binary format:
plutil -convert binary1 ~/com.google.Chrome.xml -e plist

Tip of the week: Easily insert a blank line between concatenated files
For example:
% printf "1: file ending with no newline" > 1.txt
% echo "2: file ending with a newline" > 2.txt
% cat *.txt
1: file ending with no newline2: file ending with a newline
% awk 'FNR==1{print ""}1' *.txt
1: file ending with no newline
2: file ending with a newline
% awk 'FNR==2{print ""}1' *.txt
1: file ending with no newline
2: file ending with a newline

Tip of the week: Merge two text files side-by-side with paste
For example:
% cat << EOF > file1
HEADER1
Data-1
Date-2
EOF
% cat << EOF > file2
HEADER2
Value-1
Value-2
EOF
% paste file1 file2
HEADER1 HEADER2
Data-1 Value-1
Date-2 Value-2
