Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Tmux, copy-mode, and OSX shenanigans.

Copy, with line wrapping!

If you've been trying to copy/paste text from a multi-pane tmux session with the mouse, you've probably been pretty pissed at the blissful ignorance a terminal application has of the rodent in your hand.

The alternative, which is quote-unqoute native copy/pasting using copy-mode takes a bit to get used to. So this is one solution for copying and pasting lines from a session with correct line wrapping behaviour, albeit keyboard only.

Disclaimer

Since copy-mode has similar concepts of marks, regions, and temp buffers to Emacs .. you'll probably find it straight forward if you're familar with Emacsen. For people using vi-mode in tmux, the same still applies but obviously the default key bindings will differ alot from what I show below.

### Rakefile for encrypted passwords
########################################################################
#
# Here's a little Rakefile to manage your encrypted password file! It's
# really easy to use:
#
# 1) put the email addresses of the keys you want in AUTHORIZED_USERS
# 2) create a passwords.txt (and ignore it in your SCM)
# 3) run `rake passwords:encrypt`
