git branching and merging - skim

http://skim.la/2010/06/28/git-branching-and-merging

Git branching and merging. Jun 28, 2010. As I aim to become better at using git, I thought I’d share how to branch, then later merge the branch on a git repo. I wanted to do this for my Tic Tac Toe project because I was going to add the Limelight UI. It’s actually fairly easy to branch and merge. I used Scott Chacon’s. Wonderful Git Reference website. And followed his examples. Note: I’m using zsh and these dot files. To list local branches:. Master][ /local/git/tic tac toe ruby] git branch * master.

Craig, the author of Rainbow kindly accepted my pull request. One thing I noticed when switching from pygments to highlight.js is the significant improvement in...

Clojure koans is awesome. Jul 29, 2010. The Clojure Koans GitHub repo moved. Instructions below have been updated. I attended my first Chicago Clojure. Meetup and 8th Light’s Colin Jones. Introduced us to Clojure Koans, a Ruby Koans inspired set of tests to teach you Clojure. A functional programming language. After finishing the koans that night, I have a better understanding of how Clojure syntax works. You might have heard Clojure uses a lot of parentheses - it’s probably not an overstatement. Run a p...

phantomjs for headless capybara and jasmine - skim

http://skim.la/2012/06/24/phantomjs-for-headless-capybara-and-jasmine

Phantomjs for headless capybara and jasmine. Jun 24, 2012. Is one of the two solutions I’m aware of that solves the headless browser problem. What makes phantomjs shine above the other is its lack for requiring xvfb. And a browser like Firefox. Starting with version 1.5.0, phantomjs de-coupled itself from xvfb and runs completely independent from it. What does this mean for developers? The appropriate binary, tar it to a directory, and symlink the phantomjs binary to a location in your. Both repos have g...
