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 I haven't had to do it ever again, so if it goes out of date I probably won't know.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.

Why the jQuery Abstraction isn't needed.

(One needs some form of browser normalization so that modern features works, no-one is doubting that).

warn on empty jquery selection

Graduated to github: https://github.com/devinrhode2/StrictjQuery.js

But for the simple version (quite possibly better): (wait no its broke use the one on GH)

Warns when you have an empty jQuery selection, unless you do $('foo', failsafe);

 $.badSelectorAction = function badSelectorActionFn( selector, context ) {

Hi David

I'm impressed with your back ground and your responsibilities at 37signals. When researching your profile I also found that you have 4.8K followers and have been starred 29 times on GitHub. This speaks volumes to your work and your high technical expertise. I'd love the opportunity to speak with you about a Ruby Engineering role I'm currently working on for Heroku. I'd like to share more details about the position and find out if you or anyone you know would be interested.

Heroku is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) that lets you deploy, run and manage applications written in Ruby, Node.js, Java, Python, Clojure and Scala. Heroku is owned by Salesforce however, we operate as a completely separate entity. This allows us to maintain our technology, culture and the formula that has made us so successful.

Anyway, it would be great to set up sometime to chat. I am more than happy to answer any questions that you might have and it would be great for me to hear about what you are looking for in any potentia

• HTMLBars - alternate HTML-aware Handlebars backend
• morph - text-node placeholders for data binding systems
• RSVP - fast, lightweight promise library
