Checkout github pull requests locally

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:

ld – Wading through Mac OS X linker hell

Intro

Friend: I tried looking at static linking in Mac OS X and it seems nearly impossible. Take a look at this http://stackoverflow.com/a/3801032

Me: I have no idea what that -static flag does, but I'm pretty sure that's not how you link to a library. Let me RTFM a bit.

Use autofs on Mac OS X to mount network shares automatically during access

Autofs on Mac OS X

With autofs you can easily mount network volumes upon first access to the folder where you want to mount the volume. Autofs is available for many OS and is preinstalled on Mac OS X so I show you how I mounted my iTunes library folder using this method.

Prepare autofs to use a separate configuration file

autofs needs to be configured so that it knows where to gets its configuration. Edit the file /etc/auto_master and add the last line:

#
# Automounter master map
#

+auto_master # Use directory service

A common problem in software development and research is the "do-something"-"save data" loop. Often we are saving structured data over and over again, and this document looks at the fastest way to do this.

Solutions I will not consider

Writing each chunk of data to its own file

I will not consider this because:

  1. how do we combine these files later? This just kicks the can down the road

Github with more than one person

You submitted a patch to someone else's repository, and now you want your fork to sync with their repo

  1. Clone your fork (if you haven't already)
  2. git remote add upstream git://github.com/ORIGINAL-DEV-USERNAME/REPO-YOU-FORKED-FROM.git
  3. git fetch upstream
  4. git pull upstream master

Someone else has opened a PR on your repo, and you want to check that their code works before merging
