Bootstrapping - a list of useful resources to get up and running quickly

Welcome!

UPDATE: This list is no longer maintained. I've moved it to its own repo so you can send suggestions as Pull Requests. https://github.com/dideler/bootstrapping/

For feedback or suggestions, please send a tweet (@dideler). Gist comments don't notify me. Pull requests aren't possible with gists (yet), so I don't recommend forking because then I can't easily get the change.

Starring this gist will give me an idea of how many people consider this list useful.

A badass list of frontend development resources I collected over time.

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

  • One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
  • A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

  • Unison for file synchronization
  • EncFS for folder encryption

a simple git branching model

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Local SSL websites on macOS Sierra

Local SSL websites on macOS Sierra

These instructions will guide you through the process of setting up local, trusted websites on your own computer.

These instructions are intended to be used on macOS Sierra, but they have been known to work in El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, and Mountain Lion.

NOTE: You may substitute the edit command for nano, vim, or whatever the editor of your choice is. Personally, I forward the edit command to Sublime Text:

alias edit="/Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl"

Reactive 2015 Lightning Talk Proposal: Pyramids be gone!: ES7 Async Function

This is a proposal for a lightning talk at the Reactive 2015 conference.

NOTE: If you like this, star ⭐ the Gist - the amount of stars decides whether it makes the cut! You could also Retweet if you want :)

Pyramids be gone!

ES7 Async Functions

JavaScript is getting async functions (or already has them if you count Babel.JS) and with them a way to finally slay the evil pyramid. This new language feature lets you write asynchronous code that almost looks synchronous, while maintaining the same semantics as promises. This lets you shed your .then and .catch boilerplate and escape those nested callbacks in favour of clean, explicit, maintainable code.
