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:

Install

Either copy the aliases from the .gitconfig or run the commands in add-pr-alias.sh

Usage

Easily checkout local copies of pull requests from remotes:

• git pr 4 - creates local branch pr/4 from the github upstream(if it exists) or origin remote and checks it out
• git pr 4 someremote - creates local branch pr/4 from someremote remote and checks it out

Installing

Install FFmpeg with homebrew. You'll need to install it with a couple flags for webm and the AAC audio codec.

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis --with-fdk-aac --with-opus

Minimum Viable Async with Node 6

With the release of Node 6.0.0, the surface of code that needs transpilation to use ES6 features has been reduced very dramatically.

This is what my current workflow looks like to set up a minimalistic and fast microservice using micro and async + await.

The promise

surma

// Implements stale-while-revalidate
self.addEventListener('fetch', event => {
  const cached = caches.match(event.request);
  const fetched = fetch(event.request);
  const fetchedCopy = fetched.then(resp => resp.clone());

  // Call respondWith() with whatever we get first.
  // If the fetch fails (e.g disconnected), wait for the cache.
  // If there’s nothing in cache, wait for the fetch. 
  // If neither yields a response, return a 404.
