Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath.

When Jeremy asked me to come talk, I said yes.  Hell yes.  Immediately.  But
then I took a few moments and thought, Wait, why?  Why me?  What am I supposed
to say that's interesting?  Something about Ruby, perhaps.  Maybe the
future of it.  The future of something, at least.  That sounds
keynote-y.

// Alternative JavaScript Syntax

Person = :(name, address) { @name!, @address! }
Person::inspect = :{ <: "{@name} lives at {@address}" }

tj := Person('TJ', '314 Bessborough ave')
bob := Person('Bob', 'Some place')
[tj, bob].each(:(person){ print(person.inspect()) })

First, a warning

EGit/JGit is a reimplementation of git in java, due to this GitHub does not officially support it. Issues have happened and repositories have been corrupted by them. While it is usually a simple matter to repair these repos due to git’s distributed nature, be aware that EGit may not work as well as the official git binaries.

GitHub officially supports msysgit (openssh) on windows and precompiled or self-compiled binaries on mac and linux. The following guide was submitted by a user and may be out of date.

Another description on how to use EGit and how to upload to Github can be found in the following EGit Tutorial

###Reddddit

##Install/Update

To toggle Auto Appending, click on the respective link near your username (above the login form). The asteriks near that toggler opens this page so you can easily check for new versions (specially if reddit changes).

Script will also check daily if there is a new version of it worth of user attention.

Welcome!

UPDATE: This list is no longer maintained. I've moved it to its own repo so you can send suggestions as Pull Requests. https://github.com/dideler/bootstrapping/

For feedback or suggestions, please send a tweet (@dideler). Gist comments don't notify me. Pull requests aren't possible with gists (yet), so I don't recommend forking because then I can't easily get the change.

Starring this gist will give me an idea of how many people consider this list useful.

When JSLint hurts your feelings, hug it out with Doug.

0. There are some situations that are difficult to distinguish mechanically, so I now consider all of those cases problematic, even when they are not obviously wrong.
1. You should be coding for readability and error resistance.
2. The place to express yourself in programming is in the quality of your ideas, and the efficiency of execution. The role of style is the same as in literature. A great writer doesn't express himself by putting the spaces before his commas instead of after, or by putting extra spaces inside his parentheses.
3. Many people think they have good reasons for doing things badly.
4. [The purpose of JSLint is not to make you feel good about inadequate coding standards.](http://tech.groups.y
