Getting Started with NPM (as a developer)

As easy as 1, 2, 3!

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

	#!/usr/bin/env ruby

	# figure out which repository this is
	# assumes it's a bare repository
	repository = /([^\/]*?)\.git$/.match(`pwd`.chomp)[1]

	# get the stdins from git
	stdins = []; stdins << $_ while gets

	stdins.each do \|str\|

	Connect to your Mac's localhost from within a VMWare virtual machine.

	- Boot up VMware and fire up your VM (i'm using Windows 7)
	- Make sure that the VM is using NAT
	- Fire up the command prompt in Windows and type "ipconfig". IN the resulting text look for your IPv4 address. It will be something like 192.168.xxx.xxx
	- Now go to your browser in your VM and type that ip address into the url bar but change the last set of digits to be 2 (or 1).
	- so as an example if your ip was found to be 192.168.213.200 change it to be 192.168.213.2
	- Assuming that your localhost is running on your mac you should get your localhost in your VM browser.
	- If you need to add a non standard port number on the end like 8090 go ahead and do so.
