Managing Secret Data in Open source Applications

If you're working on an open source project, committing API keys or secrets to your repo is a big no-no. You wouldn't want anyone else making request with your keys, right?

So instead of putting those keys in app/config/initializers set then as environment variables in your shell. Here's an example for a Facebook API key:

export FB_API_KEY=3629346238763284623874623

Tips for a #WINNING Github Profile

The basics

As a new developer some potential employers are going to review your Github profile as part of the interview process. This doc covers some tips that should help you make a good impression. What this doc won't do is polish a turd.

README

Think of your experiences reviewing a Gem or other JS library on Github. Where do you look first? The README of course. What makes for a frustrating repo? One that doesn't:

  • include a README.
  • include install instructions (if applicable)
