How does `ls` work?

How does ls work?

I wanted to be really able to explain to a fair amount of detail how does the program :command:`ls` actually work right from the moment you type the command name and hit ENTER. What goes on in user space and and in kernel space? This is my attempt and what I have learned so far on Linux (Fedora 19, 3.x kernel).

How does the shell find the location of 'ls' ?

from fabric.api import local, run, env, put
import os, time
# remote ssh credentials
env.hosts = ['10.1.1.25']
env.user = 'deploy'
env.password = 'XXXXXXXX' #ssh password for user

Spree (vs. Magento)

  • Spree does not offer media management as a CMS function

This is true, but we do have some extensions such as spree_static_content that do provide the ability to create extra pages for your site.

  • One page checkout is available on Magento, but not Spree

Assuming you mean the fields are all on one page: This is not provided by default, but it is relatively easy to customize Spree to do this. It's pretty commonly requested, and so it might be a good idea for us to provide a guide on how to do this.

If you want to use Xcode's FileMerge as your git mergetool, this is how you set it up.
# Tell system when Xcode utilities live:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
# Set "opendiff" as the default mergetool globally:
