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:

Tips for a #WINNING Github Profile

Tips for a #WINNING Github Profile

The basics

As a new developer some potential employers are going to review your Github profile as part of the interview process. This doc covers some tips that should help you make a good impression. What this doc won't do is polish a turd.

README

Think of your experiences reviewing a Gem or other JS library on Github. Where do you look first? The README of course. What makes for a frustrating repo? One that doesn't:

  • include a README.
  • include install instructions (if applicable)

Running GNU coreutils via Homebrew on your Mac? Here's a one-liner to get the manpages working!
# Short of learning how to actually configure OSX, here's a hacky way to use
# GNU manpages for programs that are GNU ones, and fallback to OSX manpages otherwise
alias man='_() { echo $1; man -M $(brew --prefix)/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnuman $1 1>/dev/null 2>&1; if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then man -M $(brew --prefix)/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnuman $1; else man $1; fi }; _'

Google Recruiter Candidate Tips ..
xxx,
Thanks again for taking the time to speak with me and for sending me your information. I'm excited to tell you that we would like to move forward in the process!
One of our coordinators will be emailing you within the next week from an @google.com domain with the date and time of your phone interview. In the meantime, I've included some preparation materials (below.)
Please note this will be a technical interview that will last for approximately 45 minutes. Google takes an academic approach to the interviewing process. This means that we are interested in your thought process, your approach to problem solving as well as your coding abilities. You may be asked questions that relate to technical knowledge, algorithms, coding, performance, how to test solutions, and perhaps your interest in Google products. The best advice that I can give you is to treat the interview like a conversation, talk through the problems, and please feel free to ask the interviewer if you are not clear with any of the questio

This is my technical interview cheat sheet. Feel free to fork it or do whatever you want with it. PLEASE let me know if there are any errors or if anything crucial is missing. I will add more links soon.

ANNOUNCEMENT

I have moved this over to the Tech Interview Cheat Sheet Repo and has been expanded and even has code challenges you can run and practice against!

# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.

# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
# programs.

# Once you're done here, go to

Slack Etiquette

Who uses Turing Slack?

Turing has a large community of people who use Slack: mentors, teachers, guests, students, and alumni. Members should be mindful of other people's involvement in the Turing Slack community. Many mentors and guests are in different time zones, and most students need their sleep when they can get it (see: night owls or early birds). Please be aware of your local time and other users' local time when you are sending a message that will notify other members of the message. Most users have phone and/or email notifications (@channel (see below) and direct message) turned on.

When Should I @channel?

Almost never. Especially in the community channel. Here are things to ask yourself before you send out a message using @channel:

  • Is this message important to everyone in this channel?
  • Does this message directly impact everyone in this channel?
  • Will this message wake anyone up

Golang landmines

There are three easy to make mistakes in go. I present them here in the way they are often found in the wild, not in the way that is easiest to understand.

All three of these mistakes have been made in Kubernetes code, getting past code review at least once each that I know of.

  1. Loop variables are scoped outside the loop.

What do these lines do? Make predictions and then scroll down.

func print(pi *int) { fmt.Println(*pi) }
