phinze / remove_casks_linked_as_formula.sh
Created August 6, 2013 23:44
Clean Casks from homebrew-casks that were improperly linked as homebrew formula during a brew update. This happened for a spell due to a bug in homebrew that is now fixed, but some people have extra links lying around from when the bug was in the wild. This has been tested and cleans up any symlinks that shouldn't be there.
find $(brew --prefix)/Library/Formula -type l | for symlink in $(cat -); do readlink $symlink | grep phinze-cask | grep -v brew-cask > /dev/null && rm -v $symlink; done

no access to git from your production app box? still want to use git to deploy so you are dealing in SHAs/clones and not timestamps/tars? access your repo using a reverse ssh tunnel!
# config/deploy.rb
$: << File.expand_path('../../lib', __FILE__)
require 'capistrano_hacks/reverse_tunnel'
set :scm, :git
set :local_repository, '.'
set :reverse_tunnel_port, 52222
set :repository, Capistrano::Hacks.tunneled_repository_url(self)
set :ssh_options, { :forward_agent => true }
