GitHub and Git are not just for writing programming code. They can also be an effective tool for writing articles and books. Matthew McCullough has written a quick guide to writing books in lightweight formats. This article will be folded into this Teaching repository over the coming months.

What is this?

// This script will monitor the Google Music page and skip songs you've already downvoted.
// Google doesn't do this automatically for some weird reason, so this hacks around that.
// Note that you're limited to somewhere around five skips per hour per station, so you
// can pretty quickly run into a scenario where this won't work. In the case that you want
// to stop the script, just run clearInterval(skipper) after this script.

var skipper = setInterval(function() {
    // Grab the rating container (first of two with the same class)
    var ratingContainer = document.getElementsByClassName('rating-container')[0];

Searching Git commit history

This should be one of the core features of Git, but for some reason it's impossible to figure out how to search for a string in your commit history and see the diffs that that string is in. Here's the best I've come up with:

To find which commits and which files a string was added or removed in:

git log -S'search string' --oneline --name-status

To see the diff of that

#lang racket

(define (op? e)
