/*
Based on some other things I've seen online.
1: Edit the vars
2: Put on server somewhere accessible, e.g. your site folder as github.php
3: chmod +x github.php
4: Repo settings, add webhook to that url

Commonly used git commands

If you need to restructure your commit history (squash multiple commits into one, remove commits, etc.) use the command (where N is the number of commits to include in the restructure):

git rebase -i HEAD~N

E.g.,

git rebase -i HEAD~3

Commonly used MySQL commands that I keep forgetting for some reason.
# insert from a select query
INSERT INTO table (column1,column2)
SELECT column1,column2

# dropping tables
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tablename;

Automatically converting DOC to MD

First convert DOC to DOCX using LibreOffice:

/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --invisible --convert-to docx file.doc

Then convert to Markdown using pandoc:

pandoc file.docx -f docx -t markdown -o file.md

Convert to Markdown, extracting the image files:

Context

Github Pages only supports redirects via Jekyll's ruby gem, which creates static HTML files with a <meta http-equiv="refresh" in the <head>.

Problem

If you run a JavaScript site that uses hash fragments (aka, site.com/#!/page) search engines may not be able to index the content. (See noddity as a blog framework that uses hash fragments but serves static files.)

General Solution

Testing in Angular.js
angular.module('myMod', []).controller('MyCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.var = 'hello';
$scope.thing = 'before';
$scope.change = function(word) {
$scope.var = word;
};
$scope.$watch('var', function() {
$scope.thing = 'after';
})
});

An angular filter calculating the the days between two dates.
angular.module('eds.daysBetweenDates', []).filter('daysBetweenDates', function() {
return function(startDate, endDate) {
if (startDate && endDate) {
var start = moment(startDate).hour(0).minute(0).second(0).millisecond(0);
var end = moment(endDate).hour(0).minute(0).second(0).millisecond(0).add('day', 1);
return moment(end).diff(start, 'days')
} else {
return 0;
}
}
