Update 2022: git checkout -p <other-branch> is basically a shortcut for all this.

FYI This was written in 2010, though I guess people still find it useful at least as of 2021. I haven't had to do it ever again, so if it goes out of date I probably won't know.

Example: You have a branch refactor that is quite different from master. You can't merge all of the commits, or even every hunk in any single commit or master will break, but you have made a lot of improvements there that you would like to bring over to master.

Note: This will not preserve the original change authors. Only use if necessary, or if you don't mind losing that information, or if you are only merging your own work.

What if controlling your media queries was as easy as adding on to a Sass list? What if I told you it now is?

This snippet comes from a modified version of mixins in the Aura Responsive Framework and came from me hijacking the respond-to mixin namespace but still wanting to use it for custom media queries. It's a little ugly and requires Sass 3.2+ (for now, (sudo) gem install sass --pre), but it works a charm.

There are two fairly mundane caveats to this method. First, every media query needs to be named. Second, every media query needs a size and assumes min-width and screen. If you want to change min-width, simply add your operator as another option, but if you want to change screen, you need to also include your operator even if you want it to be min-width.

Also, I haven't built in warnings yet for when you do bad things, so bear that in mind.

Without further adue, tada.

OBSOLETE

This entire guide is based on an old version of Homebrew/Node and no longer applies. It was only ever intended to fix a specific error message which has since been fixed. I've kept it here for historical purposes, but it should no longer be used. Homebrew maintainers have fixed things and the options mentioned don't exist and won't work.

I still believe it is better to manually install npm separately since having a generic package manager maintain another package manager is a bad idea, but the instructions below don't explain how to do that.

Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users

Installing node through Homebrew can cause problems with npm for globally installed packages. To fix it quickly, use the solution below. An explanation is also included at the end of this document.

Install Homebrew

Homebrew is a great little package manager for OS X. If you haven't already, installing it is pretty easy:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

// Usage:
//   Copy and paste all of this into a debug console window of the "Who is Hiring?" comment thread 
//   then use as follows:
//
//   query(term | [term, term, ...], term | [term, term, ...], ...)
// 
// When arguments are in an array then that means an "or" and when they are seperate that means "and"
//
// Term is of the format:
//    ((-)text/RegExp)  ( '-' means negation )
