Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

require 'git'

module Jekyll
  class GitActivityTag < Liquid::Tag

    def initialize(tag_name, text, tokens)
      super
    end

    def render(context)

Discussion on reddit.

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static file server in your current (or specified) directory. Use this power wisely.

Python 2.x

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

CREATE EXTENSION tablefunc;

CREATE TABLE sales(year int, month int, qty int);
INSERT INTO sales VALUES(2007, 1, 1000);
INSERT INTO sales VALUES(2007, 2, 1500);

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

var Article = require('../../../models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

require 'json'
require 'net/http'

# JSON parser tag, creating map for use in jekyll markdown
# Alex.Heneveld @ Cloudsoft Corp (remove spaces and add the .com)
# Released under APL 2.0

# usage:  {% jsonball varname from TYPE PARAM %}
#
# where TYPE is one of {data,var,file,page}, described below

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h):

• -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
• -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)
