Mind the dollar while debugging, jQuery vs Command Line API

Leave a comment

The number one reason jQuery is the most loved and usedĀ front end library of the wholeĀ internet is the handy DOM selection API that allows to use the CSS syntax to interact with page elements, andĀ the otherĀ convenient factor isĀ the alias $ (dollar sign) that is was unique and short enough (one character, dhu) to make it … Continue reading Mind the dollar while debugging, jQuery vs Command Line API →

Git – How to unfuck by Melanie G. A. PATRICK

Link Leave a comment

A nice handbook for “unfucking” git commits with command lineĀ when things get uglyĀ by Melanie G. A. PATRICK from Trivago

One I’d like to add myself, experimented today on my skin, is about fetching.

Let’s say you created some new tags on BitBucket/Stash/YourGitRepositoryOfChoice and now you want to checkout locally one of these new tags. You might assume that firing a “git fetch” will update everything, you proceed to checkout the tag but your command fails.

Turns out that if you want the tags to be updated, you’ll have to ask for them explicitly :

Shell
1
git fetch --tags

Before version 2 of git, the fetch command alone would update branches heads and withĀ --tags option would update only tags, after version 2 when the option is included it will update tagsĀ and branches heads,Ā aligning local workspace with remote repository.

Probably you’ve heard about the infamous Heartbleed bug thatĀ became notorious … Continue reading How to enable for free HTTPS for a site on shared hosting →
