SteGriff / day_of_week.rb
Created January 2, 2025 16:30
A Ruby function to get day of week (Gregorian)
def day_of_week(day, month, year)
# Zeller's Rule - Jan/Feb are Month 13/14 of previous year
if month < 3
month += 12
year -= 1
end
k = year % 100
j = year / 100
# Zeller's congruence
h = (day + (13 * (month + 1)) / 5 + k + (k / 4) + (j / 4) - (2 * j)) % 7

Yet not I lyrics
What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer,
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to his
Oh how strange and divine, I can sing: all is mine!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

Move last git commit to a different branch

Move last git commit to a different branch

So you committed to main instead of your feature branch? Oops! But it's ok. All commits in git are special little things that are easy to chip up and kick around ⚽

If you need to do any sleuthing first, use

git log
