Proxy commands from Windows command line to Bash using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

These scripts allow you to proxy commands (specifically git, in this example) to the Windows Subsystem for Linux from the normal Windows command line environment. This allows you to work with a single installation of git (under your Linux distribution) instead of trying to manage two concurrent installations.

I explicitly created these scripts to allow using Git in Visual Studio Code without installing it under Windows.

Please note that I have not extensively tested edge cases! If you run into problems, please let me know!

UFW

I use Ubuntu’s Uncomplicated firewall because it is available on Ubuntu and it's very simple.

Install UFW

if ufw is not installed by default be sure to install it first.

Advanced SCSS

Or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do. I'd rather have kept it to a nice round number like 10, but they just kept coming. Sorry.

I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein). It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap. Even though browsers are increasingly playing nice with CSS, another problem has become very topical: managing the complexity in stylesheets as our in-browser apps get larger and larger. SCSS is an indispensable tool for dealing with this.

This isn't an introduction to the language by a long shot; many things probably won't make sense unless you have some SCSS under your belt already. That said, if you're not yet comfy with the basics, check out the aweso
