Remove existing files from the repository:

find . -name .DS_Store -print0 | xargs -0 git rm --ignore-unmatch
Add the line

.DS_Store
to the file .gitignore, which can be found at the top level of your repository (or created if it isn't there already). Then

git add .gitignore
git commit -m ".DS_Store banished"

How to setup Heroku Hostname SSL with GoDaddy SSL Certificate and Zerigo DNS
Heroku recently added an exciting new 'Hostname SSL' option.  This option offers the broad compatibility of IP-based SSL, but at 1/5 the price ($20 / month at the time of this writing).  
 
The following tutorial explains how to use Heroku's new 'Hostname SSL' option on your Heroku project.  Before we begin, let's list what we're using here:

    * Heroku Hostname SSL
    * GoDaddy Standard SSL Certificate
    * Zerigo DNS

My Git Deploy Workflow

I use this for static and simple [Sinatra][1] based sites -- great for prototyping simple apps. Credit goes to http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto for the original idea.

If you don't know what this is, here's an example of how I deploy my website/app to a server:

# create/update/delete files in my site
git add .
git commit -m "description of the changes I made"

git push
