Overview

I always forget the steps, but it's pretty simple:

Steps:

• Download the IonCube Loaders
• Check your PHP version to find which IonCube loader you should use
• Check your PHP configuration for the extension_dir
• Copy the IonCube Loader into the PHP extension directory

Cherry pick multiple commits from a remote or upstream branch into your local branch.

Saw this from a comment on an answer on Stack Overflow

git fetch upstream
git cherry-pick A^..B

Overview

This is the process I have found to be very helpful when migrating projects from their SVN repository over to Git. When migrating from one version control system to another it's important to retain as much information about the development history as possible (i.e., commit messages, tags, branches, etc.) and avoid the easy and tempting method of just downloading the project from a server and throw it into the new version control (you should only consider that if the project has never been in a version control system before).

Key concepts:

• tools for migrating svn repositories to git
• how to migrate standardized svn repositories
• how to migrate non-standardized svn repositories
• best practices for your now un-maintained SVN repository

Overview

Recently had a client that wanted to customize the layout for a category landing page so that the category's title and description would be displayed above the layered navigation and product grid — essentially creating a full-width section above the left sidebar and main content areas.

NOTE: For reference, this is based off the blog post from Collaboration133.com's Magento - Add Custom Structural Block Reference.

Custom Module (My_LayoutMods)

I created a custom module to help organize and identify that there are some custom modifications to layout templates. Not saying you have to, but it may be easier for other's (or your future self) to recognize and find what customizations were done (and hopefully why).
