GitHub Standard Fork & Pull Request Workflow

Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.

Creating a Fork

Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git client to clone your repo or j

Node.js TCP client and server example
/*
In the node.js intro tutorial (http://nodejs.org/), they show a basic tcp
server, but for some reason omit a client connecting to it. I added an
example at the bottom.
Save the following server in example.js:

PHP - Get YouTube subscriber count with Youtube API v3

How to:

Here's a 'simple' way to get the YouTube subscriber number from Google's Youtube API v3:

  1. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library
  2. Log in with your Google account.
  3. Next to the logo click on 'Project' and 'Create project'. Name it whatever you want and click on 'Create'.
  4. Wait until the project is created, the page will switch to it by itself, it will take a couple of seconds up to a minute. Once it's done it will be selected next to the logo.
  5. Once it's created and selected, click on 'Credentials' from the menu on the left.
  6. Click on 'Create Credentials' and choose 'API Key'. You can restrict it to specific IPs, or types of requests (website, android, ios etc.) if you want, it's safer that way.
