Testing a pull request, then merging locally; and avoiding TOCTOU

It's not immediately obvious how to pull down the code for a PR and test it locally. But it's pretty easy. (This assumes you have a remote for the main repo named upstream.)

Getting the PR code

  1. Make note of the PR number. For example, Rod's latest is PR #37: Psiphon-Labs/psiphon-tunnel-core#37

  2. Fetch the PR's pseudo-branch (or bookmark or rev pointer whatever the word is), and give it a local branch name. Here we'll name it pr37:

$ git fetch upstream pull/37/head:pr37

Patching Python code at runtime

A rather dirty way to patch module code at runtime.

Created December 15, 2011 06:22
A tool to automatically fill in Harvest timesheets. For when you're just expected to put 8s in a single task across all five days anyway. Note that it doesn't really do the job, since Harvest doesn't let you submit your entries for approval via the API.
#!python
# Note that this whole effort is fundamentally flawed. The Harvest API does not
# provide the ability to submit the timesheet for approval. So, even though this
# code can fill in your timesheet, you still have to go to the web page to submit
# it. Which makes this a waste of time.
# See the feature request thread here:
# http://forum.getharvest.com/forums/api-and-developer-chat/topics/is-there-a-timesheet-api
# HARVEST_URL, PROJECT_NAME, and TASK_NAME need to be set to the desired values.
