Testing curl to matrix.org

Testing the matrix.org client-server API

Matrix is:

an open standard for decentralised communication, providing simple HTTP APIs and open source reference implementations for securely distributing and persisting JSON over an open federation of servers.

It's pretty fantastic, if you think on the massive problem of fragmentation all across the web. They've created an easy to use API, and you can do a kludgy test using curl from the terminal (*nix, mac, win). See: http://matrix.org/docs/howtos/client-server.html

It's pretty straightforward to do a quick test. I have an account at https://matrix.org / https://vector.im, so I used that to get a token.

Automatic Git commit signing with GPG on OSX
# In order for gpg to find gpg-agent, gpg-agent must be running, and there must be an env
# variable pointing GPG to the gpg-agent socket. This little script, which must be sourced
# in your shell's init script (ie, .bash_profile, .zshrc, whatever), will either start
# gpg-agent or set up the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable if it's already running.
# Add the following to your shell init to set up gpg-agent automatically for every shell
if [ -f ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info ] && [ -n "$(pgrep gpg-agent)" ]; then
source ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info
export GPG_AGENT_INFO

Proof of concept for a Taskwarrior on-exit hook that manages a git repository in ~/.task
#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# PoC: Manage a git repository in ~/.task that gets updated on changes.
# Only pending.data and completed.data are included by default.
# You can use "git add" to add whatever files you want to track in your
# task folder.
#
# Inspired by https://gist.github.com/Unode/9366218
#
# Works with any Taskwarrior version that supports hooks.

a commutative and associative operator for combining two JSON objects
# This gist defines a jq filter for combining two JSON objects by resolving conflicts
# in a way that is appropriate for mapping relational tables to objects.
# "combine" as defined here is both commutative and associative.
# Example:
# { "id": 123, "son": "Son1", "surname": "S"}
# | combine({ "id": 123, "son": "Son2", "surname": "S"})
# produces: { "id": 123, "son": ["Son1",Son2], "surname": "S"}
# Combine two entities in an array-oriented fashion.
