A Primer on Ruby Method Lookup

Method lookup is a simple affair in most languages without multiple inheritance. You start from the receiver and move up the ancestors chain until you locate the method. Because Ruby allows you to mix in modules and extend singleton classes at runtime, this is an entirely different affair.

I will not build contrived code to exemplify the more complicated aspects of Ruby method lookup, as this will only serve to confuse the matter. If you are having trouble following method lookup in your own programs, it is not because Ruby has strange rules (it does), it is because your code is too tangled.

When you pass a message to an object, here is how Ruby finds what method to call:

1. Look within singleton class

We did it! We broke gist.github.com ;) So head over to the new home! Thank you all!
2021.10.20: https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat now open for interaction

Not just an Universal MediaCreationTool wrapper script with ingenious support for business editions,

A powerful yet simple windows 10 / 11 deployment automation tool as well!

In your local clone of your forked repository, you can add the original GitHub repository as a "remote". ("Remotes" are like nicknames for the URLs of repositories - origin is one, for example.) Then you can fetch all the branches from that upstream repository, and rebase your work to continue working on the upstream version. In terms of commands that might look like:

Add the remote, call it "upstream":

git remote add upstream https://github.com/whoever/whatever.git

Fetch all the branches of that remote into remote-tracking branches, such as upstream/master:

git fetch upstream

Host to Host a Rails App on a Home Server

Hosting services like Heroku and Amazon EC2 are nice. That is, until they cost money. Some things are worth running on your own hardware, especially when the cost and Terms of Service requirements outweigh the expense of rolling your own hosting.

I am writing this because I recently had to figure all this out in order to host a personal blog off a Raspberry Pi, and I thought I'd share what I learned. This guide assumes that you already know how to install Ruby and you know how to use Rails. If you don't, look those up first before coming back to this guide.

Prerequisites

• Ruby >=2.0
• Rails >=4.0
• Nginx
