System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

• User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
  • Who is going to use it?
  • How are they going to use it?

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

branch=`git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`

git show-branch | ack '\*' | ack -v "$branch" | head -n1 | sed 's/.*\[\(.*\)\].*/\1/' | sed 's/[\^~].*//'`

# How it works:
# 1| Display a textual history of all commits.
# 2| Ancestors of the current commit are indicated
#    by a star. Filter out everything else.

The first step is to create a separate clone of your GitHub repository in a directory next to your primary local repository:

$ pwd
/Users/ksarmalkar/workspace/Android-ViewPagerIndicator
$ cd ..
$ git clone git@github.com:ksarmalkar/Android-ViewPagerIndicator.git Android-ViewPagerIndicator-Pages
$ cd Android-ViewPagerIndicator-Pages
