# You can now type `git get` instead of `git pull` and enjoy the
# advantages of rebasing atop instead of merging remote changes.
#
# If you have local changes, use `git get --stash` to stash and
# pop afterwards your changes automatically.

Track deployments with Piwik's Annotation API

If you use analytics tools to monitor your website, a good metric for determining the effect of changes is the time of a deployment. Does the conversion rate really improve with the latest adjustments? Has the number of 404 errors decreased since we fixed that script?

Like other analytics products, Piwik allows you to annotate your data. Wouldn't it be great if all deployments were noted automatically? With the Annotation API it's actually quite simple.

In your deployment process, just add the following line to your script or post-receive hook and fill in the placeholders:

curl "http://YOUR_PIWIK_DOMAIN/?module=API&\

The set-up: place both files in a directory, add ZeroClipboard 1.2.3 and Require.JS so that they're found.

Open testcase.html and watch console output: Sometimes the text is copied, sometimes not:

22:16:08.959 "Copied text to clipboard: " testcase.js:5
22:16:10.141 "Copied text to clipboard: a" testcase.js:5
22:16:11.544 "Copied text to clipboard: a" testcase.js:5
22:16:12.057 "Copied text to clipboard: " testcase.js:5
22:16:12.816 "Copied text to clipboard: a" testcase.js:5

/**
 * format a number to look like "12.300 Mio." (german format)
 *
 * Spec:
 * * numbers equal or larger than 100000 are suffixed with "Mio.".
 * * three significant digits
 * * dots after each 3 consecutive digits
 *
 * Why not use .toPrecision() alone? Because it might end up in
 * "scientific notation" (1.23e9). Yeah, that makes sence, JS!
