GPG and git on macOS

Setup

No need for homebrew or anything like that. Works with https://www.git-tower.com and the command line.

1. Install https://gpgtools.org -- I'd suggest to do a customized install and deselect GPGMail.
2. Create or import a key -- see below for https://keybase.io
3. Run gpg --list-secret-keys and look for sec, use the key ID for the next step
4. Configure git to use GPG -- replace the key with the one from gpg --list-secret-keys

Quick tip for handling CSRF Token Expiration - common issue is when you use csrf protection is that if 
a form sits there for a while (like a login form, but any the same) the csrf token in the form will 
expire & throw a strange error.

Handling it is simple, and is a good lesson for dealing with other types of errors in a custom manner.

In Middleware you will see a file VerifyCsrfToken.php and be tempted to handle things there. DON'T!

Opening and closing an SSH tunnel in a shell script the smart way

I recently had the following problem:

• From an unattended shell script (called by Jenkins), run a command-line tool that accesses the MySQL database on another host.
• That tool doesn't know that the database is on another host, plus the MySQL port on that host is firewalled and not accessible from other machines.

We didn't want to open the MySQL port to the network, but it's possible to SSH from the Jenkins machine to the MySQL machine. So, basically you would do something like

ssh -L 3306:localhost:3306 remotehost

Sentry is an amazing auth system. But I really need a feature: multiple user types in the same app. And I cannot separate those in groups, because they have different table columns. After 2 days burning my head, I think I found a good solution. The magic is duplicate SentryServiceProvider with new different settings.

This was tested on Laravel 4.0 and Sentry 2. If you're using other version of Sentry, my suggestion is to follow same steps from this gist but use your local files instead copying files from here.

Lets suppose we have a fresh Sentry install with default User ambient. Now we want another ambient called Admin, with new model and different settings. How to do:

1. One model, one ambient
