My Favorite Git Commands

Git with your host, Adam Kirk

Introduction

I do not claim to be smart at all, but I've worked with very smart people and they have taught me about git and how it works at a fundamental level, so I feel at this point qualified to offer some of the stuff I've learned as best practices. So her'goes.

Fetch All

When you pull, you sometimes don't know what you're pulling. It can be helpful to use git fetch --all and compare what's on your remotes with git diff origin/master to see what's different.

The Ecstasy and Disappointment of App Store Rankings

In 2010, Rob Foster and I released our first app, Calvetica, to the app store. It was one of the first two or three, if not the first, third-party calendar apps to use the new Event Kit that was released with iOS 4. The first day we sold around 20 copies, which wasn't bad I guess, but we're pie-in-the-sky dreamers, so we were a little disappointed. The next day, I woke to see we had sold 700 copies, and it got better and stayed that way for a while. It was the most excitement I'd felt since Christmas as a kid, watching our app climb the app store rankings. We made a lot of money.

Then, to our confusion and great disappointment, the rankings started to slip. Then, John Gruber linked to it on Daring Fireball and we sold about 2000 a day for a while and go to the #2 spot in productively and the #50 spot in the whole App Store. Thank you John! But, that was also just a spike. We began to watch our app sink again and wondered if and when it would stop. I bet if any app developers are reading this, they are shakin
