Starting at a new employer always mean checking out various git repositories.

As the amount of repositories a company has grows, the time needed to clone all of those repositories also grows.

This script automates this task.

Commonly known as Eduardo Vela, [Eduardo A. Vela Nava][1] (or sirdarckcat on [Github][2] and [Twitter][3]) has been a Security Engineer at Google since 2010. (He currently has the role of Product Security Response Team Lead).

As other security experts before him, he pondered the issue of effectively communicating the details of a site's vulnerability reward program to [white hat hackers][4]/[pen-testers][5].

One specific such person is [Chema Alonso][6] (also on [Twitter][7]).

He is well-known enough to warrant [a Spanish Wikipedia entry][8]

Creating a real UUIDv4 in JS usually requires a library. The new https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Crypto/randomUUID can be used in the browser.

But how hard is it to create a valid UUIDv4? As it turns out, not very!

The following is all that is needed for a version 4 UUID (including correctly setting the so called M and N bits):

const generateUUID = () => "10000000-1000-4000-8000-100000000000".replace(/[018]/g, s => (s ^ Math.random() * 256 & 15 >> s / 4).toString(16));

Badges for Project Stages

Introduction

As any active software developer, I tend to have a lot of projects laying about. With the advent of Github all of these projects now live in the public eye.

For me, as the author, it isn't dificult to keep track of which project is in which state of production. For the casual visitor of my project pages this is a different matter.

To help passers-by to identify how solid a certain project is at-a-glance, I felt it would be prudent to offer them a "Badge". Some uniform way of knowing what to expect of the code in the repository without even having to look at it.
