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:

How to install game-porting-toolkit (aka proton for macOS)

You also might wanna just use Whisky which does this automatically

This guide works on macOS 13.4+ using Command Line Tools for XCode 15 Beta!

What is this?

In the recent WWDC, Apple announced and released the "game porting toolkit", which upon further inspection this is just a modified version of CrossOver's fork of wine which is a "compatibility layer" that allows you to run Windows applications on macOS and Linux.

List of some useful Stat Queries for PSQL
--- PSQL queries which also duplicated from https://github.com/anvk/AwesomePSQLList/blob/master/README.md
--- some of them taken from https://www.slideshare.net/alexeylesovsky/deep-dive-into-postgresql-statistics-54594192
-- I'm not an expert in PSQL. Just a developer who is trying to accumulate useful stat queries which could potentially explain problems in your Postgres DB.
