Idiot-Proof Git Aliases

/*
  As of version 1.1.2, Propane will load and execute the contents of
  ~Library/Application Support/Propane/unsupported/caveatPatchor.js
  immediately following the execution of its own enhancer.js file.

  You can use this mechanism to add your own customizations to Campfire
  in Propane.

  Below you'll find two customization examples.

Screencasting Framework

The following document is a written account of the Code School screencasting framework. It should be used as a reference of the accompanying screencast on the topic.

Why you should care about screencasting?

You're probably aren't going to take the time to read this document if you're not interested, but there are a lot of nice side effects caused by learning how to create quality screencasts.

1. Communicating more effectively - At Envy Labs we produce screencasts for our clients all the time. Whether it's demoing a new feature or for a presentation for an invester, they're often much more effective and pleasent than a phone call or screen sharing.

Using Dropbox to Share Git Repositories

First, create a Git subfolder inside your Dropbox folder. Then you can share the individual projects inside that folder with whomever you want (or just use it for instant offsite backups).

From inside a Git project:

git clone --bare . ~/Dropbox/Git/gitproject.git
git remote add dropbox ~/Dropbox/Git/gitproject.git

When you're ready to push:

# RSpec 2.0 syntax Cheet Sheet by http://ApproachE.com

# defining spec within a module will automatically pick Player::MovieList as a 'subject' (see below)
module Player
	describe MovieList, "with optional description" do
		  
	  it "is pending example, so that you can write ones quickly"
	  
	  it "is already working example that we want to suspend from failing temporarily" do
		pending("working on another feature that temporarily breaks this one")

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style
