A replacement for "livereload" gem on OS X

This script is a replacement for livereload server component designed for working with Rails. It watches the filesystem with FS Events (Mac OS X) rather than with EventMachine. This is better for large projects for wich EventMachine fails with "too many open files" exception.

Sass is supported; .sass files can also be stored in "app/styles/" directory. Compass is detected if "config/compass.rb" file exists.

Installation:

Download this script to somewhere in your PATH and make it executable. You can name it something different than "livereload" if you want to try this and the official gem executable in parallel.

(a gist based on the old toolmantim article on setting up remote repos)

To collaborate in a distributed development process you’ll need to push code to remotely accessible repositories.

This is somewhat of a follow-up to the previous article setting up a new rails app with git.

For the impatient

Set up the new bare repo on the server:

carlosantoniodasilva

#!/bin/bash

APP_NAME="your-app-name-goes-here"
APP_PATH=/home/deploy/${APP_NAME}

# Production environment
export RAILS_ENV="production"
# This loads RVM into a shell session. Uncomment if you're using RVM system wide.
# [[ -s "/usr/local/lib/rvm" ]] && . "/usr/local/lib/rvm"

Screencasting Framework

The following document is a written account of the Code School screencasting framework. It should be used as a reference of the accompanying screencast on the topic.

Why you should care about screencasting?

You're probably aren't going to take the time to read this document if you're not interested, but there are a lot of nice side effects caused by learning how to create quality screencasts.

1. Communicating more effectively - At Envy Labs we produce screencasts for our clients all the time. Whether it's demoing a new feature or for a presentation for an invester, they're often much more effective and pleasent than a phone call or screen sharing.
