How is git commit sha1 formed

Ok, I geeked out, and this is probably more information than you need. But it completely answers the question. Sorry. ☺

Locally, I'm at this commit:

$ git show
commit d6cd1e2bd19e03a81132a23b2025920577f84e37
Author: jnthn <jnthn@jnthn.net>
Date:   Sun Apr 15 16:35:03 2012 +0200

When I added FIRST/NEXT/LAST, it was idiomatic but not quite so fast. This makes it faster. Another little bit of masak++'s program.

Checkout github pull requests locally

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:

KVM OSX Guest 10.11 (El Capitan) with Clover

  • Some notes about this approach:
    • An OSX Installer USB drive for Install OS X El Capitan is created
    • Clover is then installed on the USB drive
    • Clover Configurator is then run on the USB drive
    • The USB drive contents are copied to the VM host
    • VNC is used to connect to the guest UI
  • The qxl virtual video device is used (part of the standard kvm qemu install)
