Useful emoji for git commit messages

If you add emoji to your commit messages for a GitHub repo, they become less boring, and you can convey the kind of change you're adding. See the full set of GitHub supported emoji here (also useful for easy copy&paste via a simple click).

The following is a possible scheme to use:

Commit Message Format

This specification is inspired by and supersedes the [AngularJS commit message format][commit-message-format].

We have very precise rules over how our Git commit messages must be formatted. This format leads to easier to read commit history.

Each commit message consists of a header, a body, and a footer.

OSX How To: Uninstall native MySQL and install MariaDB via Homebrew

This is a short overview on how to completely remove any old mysql server installs in OSX and upgrade to MariaDB without conflicts. Things can get a bit weird when you have various old installs of MySQL server floating around, and utilizing homebrew to install and upgrade MariaDB as a drop in replacement for MySQL has worked well, especially if you're used to managing MySQL installs via yum in linux.

First: Backup Your Data!

Backup all of your current databases with mysqldump

This isn't a tutorial on backups, and there are many ways to do it. You should know how to backup your data anyway. For this example, we'll do a full backup of our InnoDB databases.

###Creating a REST API using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB

####Installing Node.js

Go to http://nodejs.org, and click the Install button. Run the installer that you just downloaded. When the installer completes, a message indicates that Node was installed at /usr/local/bin/node and npm was installed at /usr/local/bin/npm. At this point node.js is ready to use. Let’s implement the webserver application from the nodejs.org home page. We will use it as a starting point for our project: a RESTful API to access data (retrieve, create, update, delete) in a wine cellar database.

Create a folder named nodecellar anywhere on your file system. In the wincellar folder, create a file named server.js.

###Perfect Full Page Background Image

We can do this purely through CSS thanks to the background-size property now in CSS3. We'll use the html element (better than body as it's always at least the height of the browser window). We set a fixed and centered background on it, then adjust it's size using background-size set to the cover keyword.

CSS

html { 
  background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; 
 -webkit-background-size: cover;
