Better local require() paths for Node.js

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

Mosh is great, but sometimes the remote server you're accessing doesn't have it installed or doesn't give you sudo access. This script will install mosh as a user.

# Make a directory to hold local libs and bins

# Get protobuf
wget https://protobuf.googlecode.com/files/protobuf-2.5.0.tar.gz
# Extract protobuf
tar -xvzf protobuf-2.5.0.tar.gz
cd protobuf-2.5.0

`git flow` vs. `git`: A comparison of using `git flow` commands versus raw `git` commands.

Initialize

gitflow git
git flow init git init
  git commit --allow-empty -m "Initial commit"
  git checkout -b develop master
