Git Workflow

Basic workflow I've been following, inspired by the RailsTutorial website.

Branch -> Edit -> Commit -> Merge -> Push

git init        => Create a new repository in the current directory

git add         => Add file to current changeset.

hg clone project_dir new_changes_dir      => Clone a local repo

hg commit -m "Message"                    => Commit locally changed files.

Programming Achievements: How to Level Up as a Developer

  1. Select a particular experience to pursue.
  2. Pursue that experience to completion. (Achievement unlocked!)
  3. Reflect on that experience. Really soak it in. Maybe a blog post would be in order?
  4. Return to Step 1, this time selecting a new experience.

This gist is a fork of the gist from this blog post.

Hit! You sunk my Adjunction!
Today we'll be looking into Kmett's
[adjunctions](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/adjunctions) library,
particularly the meat of the library in Data.Functor.Adjunction.
This post is a literate haskell file, which means you can load it right up in
ghci and play around with it! Like any good haskell file we need half a dozen
language pragmas and imports before we get started.
