Integrating Git on Mac OSX with Microsoft TFS on Windows

Here's an experiment to work locally on a Mac using Git and my editor of choice -- while integrating well with Microsoft TFS which houses company-wide code.

If you want to work completely in Windows see:

• Using TFS and GIT together

• Visual Studio (2005/2008/2010) plugin for Git

diskutil list
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/<disk# from diskutil>   # e.g. diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk4
sudo dd bs=1m if=<your image file>.img of=/dev/<disk# from diskutil>
# e.g. sudo dd bs=1m if=2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/disk4

# various Yeoman generators (generator-webapp) are failing due to using npm 2.x beta with errors
# like "grunt 1.4.x" peer dependency not met (when in fact the dependency is met).

# fix for me was to upgrade node, but install npm separately, since upgrading node automatically installs latest npm which is 2.x

# to install latest node
brew update
brew install node --without-npm

# to install latest 1.x branch of npm

My notes on creating a Rails 4.2 app for hosting on Heroku. With RSpec and Postgresql.

gem install rails --no-ri --no-rdoc

# Create new app without Test::Unit, and for Postgresql (for Heroku)

rails new MYAPP --skip-test-unit --database=postgresql

Minecraft Plugin Development Guide

For those new to Minecraft Plugins, there's a lot of new and old documentation to run through on the web.
