2020 update: just use bat(1) instead!!!! bat has git integration and also can show invisible characters! OLD STUFF: How to enable syntax-highlighting in less. Use `less -N` (or type -N while in less) to enable line numbers. Based on the procedure described in http://superuser.com/questions/71588
# Enable syntax-highlighting in less.
# Last tested on CentOS 6.3.
#
# First, add these two lines to ~/.bashrc
# export LESSOPEN="| /usr/bin/src-hilite-lesspipe.sh %s"
# export LESS=" -R "
sudo yum -y install boost boost-devel ctags

Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Setup GitHub Pages "gh-pages" branch as a subfolder within the "master" project on your local checkout - a step-by-step guide.

Intro

Setup GitHub Pages "gh-pages" branch as a subfolder within the "master" project on your local checkout.

IMPORTANT

If you plan on switching between different branches (e.g. git checkout master-experiment then revert back with git checkout master) you will loose your child folder from this tutorial (because it's in your .gitignore and is not part of your master branch).
