// It is important to declare your variables.

var foo = 'Hello, world!';
print(foo); //=> Hello, world!

git selective merge

Update 2022: git checkout -p <other-branch> is basically a shortcut for all this.

FYI This was written in 2010, though I guess people still find it useful at least as of 2021. I haven't had to do it ever again, so if it goes out of date I probably won't know.

Example: You have a branch refactor that is quite different from master. You can't merge all of the commits, or even every hunk in any single commit or master will break, but you have made a lot of improvements there that you would like to bring over to master.

Note: This will not preserve the original change authors. Only use if necessary, or if you don't mind losing that information, or if you are only merging your own work.

Setup GitHub Pages "gh-pages" branch as a subfolder within the "master" project on your local checkout - a step-by-step guide.

Intro

Setup GitHub Pages "gh-pages" branch as a subfolder within the "master" project on your local checkout.

IMPORTANT

If you plan on switching between different branches (e.g. git checkout master-experiment then revert back with git checkout master) you will loose your child folder from this tutorial (because it's in your .gitignore and is not part of your master branch).

Checks if a DOM element is visible. Takes into consideration its parents and overflow.
var my_element = document.getElementById('my-element');
//-- Returns true/false
my_element.isVisible(my_element);

I wrote this simple function in CoffeeScript which tests if the text overflow the div and it will decrement his size until it fits!
autoSizeText = ->
elements = $('.resize')
return if elements.length < 0
for el in elements
do (el) ->
resizeText = ->
elNewFontSize = (parseInt($(el).css('font-size'), 10) - 1)
$(el).css('font-size', elNewFontSize)
resizeText() while el.scrollHeight > el.offsetHeight
