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:

Enable HiDPI mode in Mountain Lion w/o Quartz Debug

// by the way, you need to logout and log back in for this to take effect. Or at least that's what

// P.S. Go to [Apple menu --> System Preferences --> Displays --> Display --> Scaled] after logging
// back in, and you'll see a bunch of "HiDPI" resolutions in the list to choose from.

How to defang system protections on macOS

How to Defang macOS System Protections

If you want to change things on the root drive of a Mac you will need to take some steps to disable the built in security of the system. Most of these steps are the same regardless if you are on Intel or Apple Silicon. If there is a difference it is noted.

Note that all of these things put a Mac into an unsupported and less secure state.

Make sure you either perform these steps in a VM or that you reset the protections after you are done poking around

Protections and Terms

(This list is not exahustive on the details of each. Check the links at the end for more info.)

When your repo exceeds upload limit (GitHub 2GB), you can push in batches so you can store up to total size limit. (100GB) (Warning uses force push, ideally should be used for setting up new remote, once)
# Adjust the following variables as necessary
REMOTE=origin
BRANCH=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
BATCH_SIZE=250
# check if the branch exists on the remote
if git show-ref --quiet --verify refs/remotes/$REMOTE/$BRANCH; then
# if so, only push the commits that are not on the remote already
range=$REMOTE/$BRANCH..HEAD
